The American Puritans cover

Perry Miller's classic one-volume anthology of Puritan writings recreates the world of seventeenth-century New England through a judicious selection of tracts, journals, sermons, and poetry by the major Puritan writers: William Bradford, Cotton Mather, John Winthrop, Thomas Hooker, Anne Bradstreet, Michael Wigglesworth, and Edward Taylor among them.

The American Puritan movement is the essential starting point for all considerations of American culture and no book in print provides a better introduction to it than does this one. -- Larzer Ziff
