Kristina Bross
Please join me in congratulating Kristina Bross, professor of English, on the publication of “A History of American Puritan Literature” (Cambridge University Press, 2020), which she co-edited with Abram Van Engen.
Featuring contributions from an international team of scholars, this history challenges the traditional understanding of American puritans by offering new insights into their history and literary culture. Through chapters that each focus on a single place, method, idea, or context, the authors read familiar texts anew and re-introduce forgotten or neglected voices and writings. These chapters collectively create a series of interlocked new histories of American puritan literature.
Congratulations, Professor Bross!
