Description

Social historian Roger Thompson brings the forgotten and faceless women and men in 17th-century Massachusetts to indicate that records from Middlesex County of the Colony and Province of Massachusetts Bay display that the puritan social system used to be now not so rigid and the relationships between sexes now not so regulated as a few historians have recommended. The argument of ‘Sex in Middlesex’ is revisionist: the ‘puritans’ and ‘theocrats’ who throng its pages don’t behave in response to fashionable stereotype or conform tot he interpretations of major historians.
