HISTORY 319 - Puritanism:1560-2000 Puritanism

Institution:

Hobart William Smith Colleges

Subject:

Description:

has been blamed, or credited, for having led white settlers to New England while driving those who stayed behind to behead their king and reform their government; it arguably gave us the capitalist spirit, experimental science, the novel, the individual, not to mention radical politics (in the 17th century), American conservatism (more recently), prohibition, feminism, and breakfast cereal. This senior seminar takes a long view of British and, to a lesser extent, American history in the early modern period in order to get a better sense of what "Puritanism" means, who the Puritans were, what they believed, where they came from, and what they caused.
