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.

About this title

Review

“A fascinating and indispensable book.”―Saturday Review

“This classic work towers over the great mass of subsequent scholarship, and remains after forty years our single best work on American Puritanism... For many years to come every serious student of American Puritanism will still have to begin by reading The New England Mind.”―James Hoopes

“A magnificent book, the most illuminating and convincing interpretation of Puritanism that I know and a model example of intellectual historiography. Miller seems to possess a rare combination of gifts and acquired intellectual virtues―disciplined faithfulness to sources, philosophical insight and outlook, creative imagination.”―H. Richard Niebuhr

“The New England Mind is an authoritative description of Puritanism, the most subtle and most fully coherent intellectual system which has ever functioned as the official code of an American regional society... The book is the best single illustration of what is meant by ‘the history of ideas’ as a method of dealing with American materials.”―Henry Nash Smith
