The American Puritans: Their Prose and Poetry
Perry Miller did more than anyone to correct the image of Puritan as dour, fun-hating sticks-in-the-mud. This anthology offers selections of the wide variety of American Puritan writing to help bring strangers into the Puritan world. Those who love a good sermon will find the Puritans thoughtful, practical expositors of Scripture. Read especially Winthrop's "Model of Christian Charity," an address preached on the Arbella en route to New England; it was the first speech to use the image of America as a "city on a hill." The poetry is also not to be missed, especially the senesitive domestic works of Anne Bradstreet and the exquisite metaphysical conceits of Edward Taylor. I don't always like the way Miller picks and chooses, but this books is still the best of its type.
