Another City Upon a Hill: A New England Memoirvolume 2
ISBN: 9781933227566 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This gripping memoir is both a personal story and a portrait of a distinctive New England place--Fall River, Massachusetts, once the cotton cloth capital of America. Growing up, Joseph Conforti's world was defined by rolling hills, granite mills, and forests of triple-deckers. Conforti, whose mother was Portuguese and whose father was Italian, recounts how he negotiated those identities in a city where ethnic heritage mattered. Paralleling his own account, Conforti shares the story of his family, three generations of Portuguese and Italians who made their way in this once-mighty textile...

Saints and Strangers: New England in British North America
ISBN: 9780801882531 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In the first general history of colonial New England to be published in over twenty-five years, Joseph A. Conforti synthesizes current and classic scholarship to explore how Puritan saints and -strangers- to Puritanism participated in the making of colonial New England. Massachusetts Governor John Winthrop's famous description of New England as a -city upon a hill- has tended to reduce the region's history to an exclusively Pilgrim-Puritan drama, a world of narrow-minded founders, the First Thanksgiving, steepled churches, and the Salem witchcraft trials. In a concise volume... In the first general history of colonial New England to be published in over twenty-five years, Joseph A. Conforti synthesizes current and classic ... |

Imagining New England: Explorations of Regional Identity from the Pilgrims to the Mid-Twentieth Century
ISBN: 9780807849378 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Say "New England" and you likely conjure up an image in the mind of your listener: the snowy woods or stone wall of a Robert Frost poem, perhaps, or that quintessential icon of the region--the idyllic white village. Such images remind us that, as Joseph Conforti notes, a region is not just a territory on the ground. It is also a place in the imagination.
This ambitious work investigates New England as a cultural invention, tracing the region's changing identity across more than three centuries. Incorporating insights from history, literature, art, material culture, and geography, it...

Lizzie Borden on Trial: Murder, Ethnicity, and Gender
ISBN: 9780700620715 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Most people could probably tell you that Lizzie Borden "took an axe and gave her mother forty whacks," but few could say that, when tried, Lizzie Borden was acquitted, and fewer still, why. In Joseph A. Conforti's engrossing retelling, the case of Lizzie Borden, sensational in itself, also opens a window on a time and place in American history and culture. Surprising for how much it reveals about a legend so ostensibly familiar, Conforti's account is also fascinating for what it tells us about the world that Lizzie Borden inhabited. As Conforti--himself a native of Fall River, the site of...

Jonathan Edwards, Religious Tradition, and American Culture
ISBN: 9780807845356 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) As the charismatic leader of the wave of religious revivals known as the Great Awakening, Jonathan Edwards (1703-58) is one of the most important figures in American religious history. However, by the end of the eighteenth century, his writings were generally dismissed as remnants of a moribund Puritan tradition. Focusing on the publishing history and appropriation of Edwards's works by succeeding generations, Joseph Conforti explores the construction and manipulation of the Edwards legacy and demonstrates its central place in American cultural and religious history. Most of Edwards's...
