Description
"There has long been a need for a monograph that provides a solid seventeenth-century background for portions of Bernard Bailyn's The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution…[this] goes a long way toward filling this need with its investigations into rhetoric, philosophy, and politics during the first hundred years after the Winthrop fleet arrived in North America.
"Although the direction of the study seems to alternate from a pursuit of the New England conception of the ideal ruler on tone hand to a survey of the political history of the Bay Colony on the other, the concurrent themes in no way detract from its importance as a chronicle of change in the years when the European world passed from an age of religion into an age of reason. In New England, according to the book, the key event in this transformation was the Glorious Revolution. …
"Unlike recent scholarship on the period, the author makes no attempt to read between the lines or make psychoanalytical judgments from his materials. Neither does he uncover hidden meanings that could not be discerned by other readers of the same documents.…
"Although the work is intended for the specialist in early American history, the discussions of political events on both sides of the Atlantic are expansive enough to be understood by a reader with only a casual knowledge of New England's past. Yet the inclusion of much that is well known to historians does not mask the fact that the book is the product of meticulous and extensive research." -- B. Richard Burg, review in The New England Quarterly (June 1971)
