Pilgrims: New World Settlers and the Call of Home
"'Susan Hardman Moore's account of the migration from Old to New England avoids the mistake of reading backwards a narrative of American exceptionalism, setting these events firmly in the circumstances - above all religious circumstanes - of England in the 1630s.' Patrick Collinson, Trinity College Cambridge, author of The Reformation 'Hardman Moore has written a thrilling book: thrilling in its sweep, in its detail, in its story of those who for whatever reason were unable to settle in a New World. Why they went, why they came back, what they took, and what they returned with, are all illuminated as never before.' Jon Morrill, University of Cambridge 'A thrilling study... superb, highly original, written with great clarity and humanity, concerned with often obscure lives.' Paul Lay, History Today"
