David Conroy brings into focus a vital and controversial but little-understood facet of public life and material culture during the colonial era. Concentrating on the Boston area, he reveals a popular culture at odds with Puritan social ideals and the colony's social and political hierarchy and one that contributed to the transformation of Massachusetts into a republican society" [from the back cover] ISBN: 0807845213 Book is in Fine/As New Condition: pages bright, clean, tight, and unmarked.
