Agnès Delahaye analyses settlement as a form of colonial innovation, to reveal the political significance of early New England sources, above and beyond religion. John Winthrop was not just a Puritan, but a settler governor who wrote the history of the expansion of his company as a record of successful and enduring policy. Delahaye argues that settlement, as the action and the experience of appropriating the land, is key to understanding the role played by Winthrop?s writings in American historiography, before independence and in our times. 410 0$aEarly American history series ;$vVolume 11. 606 $aPuritans$zMassachusetts$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aMassachusetts$xHistory$yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775 607 $aMassachusetts$xPolitics and government$y1620-1691 607 $aNew England$xHistory$yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775 615 0$aPuritans$xHistory 676 $a285.90974409032 700 $aDelahaye$b Agne?s$01314208 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794148003321 996 $aSettling the good land$93755851 997 $aUNINA
