Product Overview
The Puritan Way of Death is more than a book about Puritans or about death. It is also about family, community, and identity in the modern world. Even before publication, eminent historians, sociologists, and religious scholars in the United States and Europea-among them, Gordon Wood, Philippe Aris, William Clebsch, and Robert Nisbet-hailed it as a pathbreaking, provocative, and exciting work, a terse, urbane, learned, clear, humane volume.
