The World of John Winthrop: England and New England, 1588-1649 - Paperback

by Francis J. Bremer (Editor), Lynn A. Botelho (Editor), Ondine LeBlanc (Prepared by)

When John Winthrop, first governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, emigrated from Stuart England to America, he and the colonists who accompanied him carried much of their culture with them. Written by leading English and American scholars, the essays in The World of John Winthrop: England and New England, 1588-1649 vigorously assert a new unity to the transatlantic and Puritan, Anglo-American sphere, integrating the English and colonial stories from a refreshingly single perspective.
