| Summary: | To be able to summarize important knowledge in clear, concise prose and then place it into new contexts is an impressive ability not possessed by all scholars. Over his publishing career, Francis J. Bremer has exhibited this gift instinctively. For two generations, Bremer's The Puritan Experiment (1976, revised 1995) has been recommended to graduate and undergraduate students as the most informative, accessible, and reliable introduction to its subject ever written. The Puritan Experiment has been followed, among Bremer's other studies of New England Puritanism, by judicious biographies of John Winthrop and Anne Hutchinson. The controlling purpose of his scholarly works has always been to convey the essence of his subject rather than to display an ostensibly original argument. |
