Peter C. Mancall examines the life of Thomas Morton, an Anglican lawyer whose libertine lifestyle and critique of Puritan hegemony in 17th-century New England led to his repeated exile and legal battles. By analyzing Morton's writings and the political climate of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, this biography reconstructs the ideological clash between Morton’s vision of a pluralistic society and the rigid orthodoxy of his contemporaries.
