Female Piety and the Invention of American Puritanism <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n (The Ohio State University Press, 2016) Female Piety and the Invention of American Puritanism<\/em>\u00a0reconsiders the standard critical view that women\u2019s religious experiences were either silent consent or hostile response to mainstream Puritan institutions. In this groundbreaking new approach to American Puritanism, Bryce Traister asks how gendered understandings of authentic religious experience contributed to the development of seventeenth-century religious culture and to the \u201cpost-religious\u201d historiography of Puritanism in secular modernity. He argues that women were neither marginal nor hostile to the theological and cultural ambitions of seventeenth-century New England religious culture and, indeed, that radicalized female piety was in certain key respects the driving force of New England Puritan culture.<\/p>\n Uncovering the feminine interiority of New England Protestantism,\u00a0Female Piety and the Invention of American Puritanism<\/em>\u00a0positions itself against prevalent historical arguments about the rise of secularism in the modern West. Traister demonstrates that female spirituality became a principal vehicle through which Puritan identity became both absorbed within and foundational for pre-national secular culture. Engaging broadly with debates about religion and secularization, national origins and transnational unsettlements, and gender and cultural authority, this is a foundational reconsideration both of American Puritanism itself and of \u201cAmerican Puritanism\u201d as it has been understood in relation to secular modernity.<\/p>\n (Description Source: The Ohio State University Press<\/a>) Bryce Traister<\/strong> is the Dean of the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies and a professor of English at the University of British Columbia (Okanagan).
