This volume documents the final eighteen years of William Penn's
life, from 1701 to 1718. It opens with his last months as resident
proprietor of Pennsylvania-a moment of great importance in the
political history of the colony. It ends with his death on 30 July
1718, after a lingering illness.
Volume III covers Penn's return to England, his appeal to James II
to support religious toleration, his struggle to reestablish his
position in England and to manage his colony in America, and his
return to Pennsylvania in 1699.
A collection of 20 essays, by a distinguished panel of specialists
in British and American history, that explores the complex
political, economic, intellectual, religious, and social
environment in which William Penn lived and worked.
This volume, covering the years 1680 to 1684, documents the
founding of Pennsylvania.
This first volume, spanning the first thirty-five years of William
Penn's life, from 1644 to 1679, documents his activities as a young
Quaker activist.
This is a concise, fluently presented examination of the relation
between William Penn's religious convictions and his political
behavior, from his years as an active young convert to the Quaker
cause to his later years as governor of Pennsylvania. Although not
a full biographical treatment of William Penn, the study presents
new insights into Penn's life because it is based on many ignored
but important pamphlets that Penn wrote. The young William Penn
took a leading role in the Quaker fight for the right of free
assembly, the right of free speech, and freedom of conscience.
However, when faced with governing a booming colony, these very
principles and convictions had to be modified in order to maintain
his and the Friends' control of Pennsylvania. Originally published
in 1967. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
