Hall’s chapter introductions provide a running history of Puritanism in seventeenth-century New England and alert readers to important scholarship.Ībove all, this is a collection of texts that vividly illuminates the experience of being a Puritan in the New World. Classics of Puritan expression, like Mary Rowlandson’s captivity narrative, Anne Bradstreet’s poetry, and William Bradford’s Of Plymouth Plantation appear alongside texts that are less well known but no less important: confessions of religious experience by lay people, the “diabolical” possession of a young woman, and the testimony of Native Americans who accept Christianity. Puritans in the New World tells the story of the powerful yet turbulent culture of the English people who embarked on an “errand into the wilderness.” It presents the Puritans in their own words, shedding light on the lives both of great dissenters such as Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson and of the orthodox leaders who contended against them.
