John Woolman's Path to the Peaceable Kingdom de Geoffrey Plank

John Woolman's Path to the Peaceable Kingdom: Early American Studies

Autor Geoffrey Plank
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 mar 2012
Drawing on the diaries of contemporaries, personal correspondence, the minutes of Quaker meetings, business and probate records, pamphlets, and other sources, this book shows that Woolman and his neighbors were far more engaged with the problems of inequality, trade, and warfare than previously understood.

Recenzii

"Plank's approach allows us to understand the extent to which John Woolman was both a man of his time and a discerning prophet."-The Journal of American History "This splendid study is perhaps the best attempt to date to explain Woolman...Highly Recommended."-Choice "A carefully researched and quietly brilliant work that provides a genuinely new perspective on a familiar figure in the history of antislavery. Plank finds in Woolman not only an early opponent of slavery but also an ardent critic of most every facet of commercial life in the Delaware Valley and, more generally, the British Empire."-Christopher Brown, Columbia University
