The New England Mind by Perry Miller

The New England Mind by Perry Miller

2014 Reprint of 1954 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Perry G. E. Miller was an American intellectual historian and Harvard University professor. He was an authority on American Puritanism, and a founder of this specialized area of American Studies. Alfred Kazin referred to him as the master of American intellectual history. In his most famous book, The New England Mind: The Seventeenth Century, Miller adopted a cultural approach to illuminate the worldview of the Puritans. This distinguished him from most previous historians, who employed psychological and economic explanations of their beliefs and behavior.

Perry Miller is a doctor with a computer science doctorate. He was a professor of anesthesiology at Yale School of Medicine for many years, as well as the director of Yale's Center for Medical Informatics, which investigated the innovative use of computers in medicine. He has always enjoyed writing, but has only recently published articles and books on computer and medical research. He's very delighted to be writing fiction, and he intends to bring a strong sense of authenticity to the intersection of these two areas. He and his wife live near their children and grandchildren in the Boston region.
