Description

Now available again, this important biography of the early New England intellectual leader was greeted as a “landmark in the history of the American mind” by Clifford K. Shipton when it appeared in 1962. Stiles lived at a critical time–the transition from the Reformation to the Enlightenment, which came suddenly in New England–and because of his position, his influence was great.”

Originally published in 1962.
