Reviews
Rutman tells his story well and with a full command of the sources. . . . A provacative, well-informed, and thoughtful book.
--American Historical Review
A brilliant, penetrating study showing the transformation of an ideal puritan society into a pragmatic, commercial, modern commonwealth.
--Choice
This is a scholarly work and a fascinating one for any reader interested in the origins of an area which has exerted a profound influence on the history of this Nation.
