Overview
Van Engen argues that a Calvinist theology of sympathy shaped the politics, religion, rhetoric, and literature of early New England. He revises dominant accounts of Puritanism and challenges the literary history of sentimentalism by unearthing the pervasive presence of sympathy in a large archive of Puritan sermons, treatises, tracts, poems, journals, histories, and captivity narratives.Other Details
