Puritans Behaving Badly

Beschreibung

Explores how church disciplinary practices gendered Puritanism and challenged ideas of ministers. Laymen punished men for public behavior that threatened the peace, and women for private sins that allegedly revealed their spiritual corruption. These practices transformed 'the errand into the wilderness' as the normative Puritan became female.
