I don't particularly care for early American lit (at least before say Washington Irving), but the history is amazing. So, the book discusses a lot of history about the Puritans, the Antinomians, Anne Hutchinson, Cotton Mather, Salem Witch Trials, etc. Kamensky's writing is fairly accessible, which isn't always the case for academic writers.Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922354827535398877.post-39302376438136978122008-02-18T13:52:00.000-06:002008-02-18T13:52:00.000-06:00Okay, next time I start from the bottom so that yo...Okay, next time I start from the bottom so that you're included!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for doing this and I found your answers very interesting.
