Nan Goodman

Recenzje

In this compelling re-reading of the New England Puritans, Nan Goodman brilliantly ranges across seventeenth-century conceptions of international law, relations with the Ottoman empire, and theologies of history. Highlighting literary uses of the law, she offers us an engaging argument that Puritans may yet inform Americans today about the very meaning of cosmopolitanism.
