The Puritan Way of Death by David E Stannard

The Puritan Way of Death by David E Stannard

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 Ariès, William Clebsch, and Robert Nisbet-hailed it as a "pathbreaking, provocative, and exciting" work, a "terse, urbane, learned, clear, humane" volume.

"A bellwether book--an intelligent and highly original study of seventeenth-century attitudes toward deathThe book rests upon a strong command of social science literature and is written with style and grace."--David Hackett Fischer, The New Republic "Stannard skillfully weaves diverse rich sources into this interdisciplinary study of death--a common human concern. His study of the Puritan way of death sets the tone for all the following eras of American culture."--Mary Pope, Westmar College

David E. Stannard received his Ph.D. from Yale University and is a professor of American studies at the University of Hawai'i. A Guggenheim, Rockefeller, and American Council of Learned Societies fellow and a widely recognized authority on Hawai'ian history and culture, he has written five previous books, including American Holocaust: The Conquest of the New World.
