In this groundbreaking new approach to American Puritanism, Bryce Traister asks how gendered understandings of authentic religious experience contributed to the development of seventeenth-century religious culture and to the \"post-religious\" historiography of Puritanism in secular modernity. He argues that women were neither marginal nor hostile to the theological and cultural ambitions of seventeenth-century New England religious culture and, indeed, that radicalized female piety was in certain key respects the driving force of New England Puritan culture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Uncovering the feminine interiority of New England Protestantism, \u003ci\u003eFemale Piety and the Invention of American Puritanism\u003c\/i\u003e positions itself against prevalent historical arguments about the rise of secularism in the modern West. Traister demonstrates that female spirituality became a principal vehicle through which Puritan identity became both absorbed within and foundational for pre-national secular culture. Engaging broadly with debates about religion and secularization, national origins and transnational unsettlements, and gender and cultural authority, this is a foundational reconsideration both of American Puritanism itself and of \"American Puritanism\" as it has been understood in relation to secular modernity.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBryce Traister is Associate Professor, Chair of the English Department, and American Studies Centre Director of Undergraduate Studies at Western University in London, Ontario, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 01, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42596895457376,"sku":"9780814252628","price":78.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/OEFlbHV2NkNBamRWaE9tZEZ5MzNSUT09.webp?v=1771689337","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/female-piety-and-the-invention-of-american-puritanism-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
