Synopsis
The noted author and NPR commentator Sarah Vowell applies her special brand of history and social commentary to the age of the Puritans as well as to today. Vowell delves below the surface of the Puritan experience to find a fascinating social structure and psychological makeup. She knocks away tired old stereotypes and reexamines the standard, somewhat canned biographies of famous people such as Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson. Vowell traces key aspects of the Puritan character up through our times, pointing out just what and what is not Puritan-like in the American character. Her warts-and-all approach brings history to life, as THE WORDY SHIPMATES makes these early settlers seem almost modern.
