Moreover, it seemed to call into question the religious mission and spiritual status of a group that considered itself a Chosen People, carrying out a divinely inspired \"errand into the wilderness.\" Seven texts reprinted here reveal efforts of Puritan writers to make sense of King Philip's War. Largely unavailable since the 19th century, they represent the various divisions of Puritan society and literary forms typical of Puritan writing, from which emerged some of the most vital genres of American popular writing. Thoroughly annotated, the book contains a general introduction and introductions to each text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Slotkin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0819560588\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780819560582\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wesleyan University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 501\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.03h x 6.12w x 1.31d","brand":"Richard Slotkin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926497919231,"sku":"9780819560582","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_727466ad-aeea-4393-bd4a-b335c47b7731.jpg?v=1681083407","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/so-dreadfull-a-judgment-richard-slotkin-9780819560582","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
