| Résumé: | Great grim earnest men! -- Deborahs and Yaels -- A paper puritan of puritans -- Milton's Manqués -- La Belle Puritaine -- The Mayflower and the slave ship -- Conclusion: Paradise lost? "Kenyon Gradert investigates how the nineteenth-century abolitionist movement-whether iconic figures of it like Ralph Waldo Emerson and William Lloyd Garrison or lesser-known writers and orators-drew on aspects of American Puritanism in shaping its political persona. From this angle, we can see a movement usually identified with liberal Protestantism in a radically new light; it also recasts our understanding of puritanism, often seen as a conservative force, little interested in worldly rebellion of the sort the abolitionists championed. As Gradert writes, 'By reimagining a pervasive narrative of Puritan origins, abolitionists urged the nation to war with its original sin.'"-- |
