Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American historians have emphasized major cities as cultural and economic centers. This volume explores the vitality of cultural, economic, and political life beyond those cities. The Lehigh Valley is a place where integral events occurred, but is also an example of regional growth outside large cities. Its unique location, close enough to New York and Philadelphia to market grain, iron, coal, and steel, yet distant enough to develop its own cultural life, offers a regional model persisting for more than two centuries heretofore unexplored in American historical scholarship. This persistence of cultural and economic patterns, including the capacity to change, makes Lehigh Valley history particularly intriguing.

Book Scotland and America in the Age of the Enlightenment

Download or read book Scotland and America in the Age of the Enlightenment written by Richard B. Sher and published by Edinburgh : Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the standard accounts of the American Enlightenment, Scottish influences on American culture are often recognised but usually limited to the effects of Scottish Common Sense Philosophy from the 1790s onwards. In the standard accounts of the Scottish Enlightenment, America's influence on Scottish thought is given little attention. Scholarship on both Enlightenments generally neglects religion, music, architecture and other important areas of culture. This book adopts a multidisciplinary approach to the rich and varied Scottish-American cultural relations in the eighteenth century. There are three broad topics: John Witherspoon as a bridge between evangelical religion and the Enlightenment during the era of the American Revolution; the respective influences of American affairs on Scottish thinkers, such as David Hume, Adam Smith, William Robertson and aristocratic 'country' Whigs, and of Scottish thought and rhetoric on the American Founding Fathers; and the Scottish component in the culture of late eighteenth-century Philadelphia, including philosophy and literature, medical education, music and architecture"--Back cover.

Book A Protestant Purgatory

    Book Details:
  • Author : Laurie Throness
  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 2016-12-05
  • ISBN : 1351961993
  • Pages : 240 pages

Download or read book A Protestant Purgatory written by Laurie Throness and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did the penitentiary get its name? Why did the English impose long prison sentences? Did class and economic conflict really lie at the heart of their correctional system? In a groundbreaking study that challenges the assumptions of modern criminal justice scholarship, Laurie Throness answers many questions like these by exposing the deep theological roots of the judicial institutions of eighteenth-century Britain. The book offers a scholarly account of the passage of the Penitentiary Act of 1779, combining meticulous attention to detail with a sweeping theological overview of the century prior to the Act. But it is not just an intellectual history. It tells a fascinating story of a broader religious movement, and the people and beliefs that motivated them to create a new institution. The work is original because it relies so completely on original sources. It is mystical because it mingles heavenly with earthly justice. It is authoritative because of its explanatory power. Its anecdotes and insights, poetry and song, provide intriguing glimpses into another era strangely familiar to our own. Of special interest to social and legal historians, criminologists, and theologians, this work will also appeal to a wider audience of those who are interested in Christianity's impact on Western culture and institutions.
