The Puritan Way of Death Summary

The Puritan Way of Death: A Study in Religion, Culture, and Social Change 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 Aries, William Clebsch, and Robert Nisbet-hailed it as a pathbreaking, provocative, and exciting work, a terse, urbane, learned, clear, humane volume.

The Puritan Way of Death Reviews

A bellwether book--an intelligent and highly original study of seventeenth-century attitudes toward death. The 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
