It illustrates the ways that, during the long history of Quakerism in the United States, these "imaginary" Friends have offered a radical model of morality, piety, and anti-modernity against which the evolving culture has measured itself. 410 0$aStudies in American thought and culture. 606 $aQuakers$zUnited States 606 $aQuakers$zUnited States$xHistory 615 0$aQuakers 615 0$aQuakers$xHistory. 676 $a289.6/73 700 $aRyan$b James Emmett$0873170 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812864503321 996 $aImaginary friends$91949266 997 $aUNINA
