The Cambridge Companion to Puritanism
'Puritan' was originally a term of contempt, and 'Puritanism' has often been stereotyped by critics and admirers alike. But it was never monolithic or purely oppositional, and its impact reverberated far beyond seventeenth-century England and New England. As a distinctive and particularly intense variety of early modern Reformed Protestantism, it was a product of acute tensions within the post-Reformation Church of England.
The book explores issues of gender, literature, politics and popular culture in addition to addressing the Puritans' core concerns such as theology and devotional praxis, and coverage extends to Irish, Welsh, Scottish and European versions of Puritanism as well as to English and American practice. This Companion, first published in 2008, broadens our understanding of Puritanism, showing how students and scholars might engage with it from new angles and uncover the surprising diversity that fermented beneath its surface. It challenges readers to re-evaluate this crucial tradition within its wider social, cultural, political and religious contexts.
