Abstract

An intimate account of the American Revolution as seen through the eyes of a Quaker pacifist couple living in Philadelphia   Historian Richard Godbeer presents a richly layered and intimate account of the American Revolution as experienced by a Philadelphia Quaker couple, Elizabeth Drinker and the merchant Henry Drinker, who barely survived the unique perils that Quakers faced during that conflict. Spanning a half†'century before, during, and after the war, this gripping narrative illuminates the Revolution's darker side as patriots vilified, threatened, and in some cases killed pacifist Quakers as alleged enemies of the revolutionary cause. Amid chaos and danger, the Drinkers tried as best they could to keep their family and faith intact.   Through one couple's story, Godbeer opens a window on a uniquely turbulent period of American history, uncovers the domestic, social, and religious lives of Quakers in the late eighteenth century, and situates their experience in the context of transatlantic culture and trade. A master storyteller takes his readers on a moving journey they will never forget.

Abstract

William Penn was an instrumental and controversial figure in the early modern transatlantic world, known both as a leader in the movement for religious toleration in England and as a founder of two American colonies, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. As such, his career was marked by controversy and contention in both England and America. This volume looks at William Penn with fresh eyes, bringing together scholars from a range of disciplines to assess his multifaceted life and career. Contributors analyze the worlds that shaped Penn and the worlds that he shaped: Irish, English, American, Quaker, and imperial. The eighteen chapters in The Worlds of William Penn shed critical new light on Penn's life and legacy, examining his early and often-overlooked time in Ireland; the literary, political, and theological legacies of his public career during the Restoration and after the 1688 Revolution; his role as proprietor of Pennsylvania; his religious leadership in the Quaker movement, and as a loyal lieutenant to George Fox, and his important role in the broader British imperial project. Coinciding with the 300th anniversary of Penn's death the time is right for this examination of Penn's importance both in his own time and to the ongoing campaign for political and religious liberty

Abstract

"Told from the Indian perspective, this graphic novel depicts the massacre of 20 unarmed Conestoga Indians in colonial Pennsylvania in December 1763 by a vigilante group of Scots-Irish frontiersmen known as the "Paxton Boys", first six Conestoga People at a settlement near what is now Millersville, and then fourteen remaining Indians -- six adults and eight children that were under protective custody -- days later in Lancaster. The graphic novel is half of the book. The other half contains interpretive materials and reproductions of historical documents. It also provides instructional guidelines supplied by the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History."--

Abstract

Cet ouvrage inédit, réunissant près de 80 sociologues, ethnologues, anthropologues, historien, veut permettre une meilleure connaissance des groupes religieux présents en France et leur évolution récente. Dans une approche inédite, il propose une série de chapitres présentant chacun en détail un groupe religieux. Ces mouvements religieux sont regroupés par grands ensembles confessionnels, ce qui permet de saisir la diversité interne de chacun de ces ensembles.Ce livre offre une couverture inégalée dans la présentation des groupes religieux, en évoquant certains déjà connus, mais en éclairant également d'autres qui restent largement à découvrir. Présenter, dans un ouvrage unique, l'ensemble des groupes religieux minoritaires de France fournira certainement un outil de travail extrêmement précieux à toute personne cherchant à connaître l'un ou l'autre d'entre eux.Cette vue d'ensemble fournit un élément précieux de connaissance du panorama religieux français. Elle permet également de saisir le positionnement des groupes dans l'espace public et les uns par rapport aux autres, contribuant ainsi à une meilleure intelligence du fait religieux dans la France contemporaine.
