Martyrs' Mirror: Persecution and Holiness in Early New England
Weimer, Adrian Chastain (Instructional Assistant Professor of History, University of Mississippi)
Martyrs' Mirror examines the folklore of martyrdom among seventeenth-century New England Protestants, exploring how they imagined themselves within biblical and historical narratives of persecution. Memories of martyrdom, especially stories of the Protestants killed during the reign of Queen Mary in the mid-sixteenth century, were central to a model of holiness and political legitimacy. The colonists of early New England drew on this historical imagination in orderto strengthen their authority in matters of religion during times of distress.
