• Higgins School sponsors ‘Unauthorized Puritans’
  Wednesday February 16 at 5:30 p.m. in Dana Commons
  The manuscript and print archive of Puritan New England challenges our notions of early modern authorship, says Meredith Neuman. Sermon literature is produced by the community – with no simple progression from oral performance to printed text and with no clear hierarchy between the efforts of the minister and the experience of the congregation. This phenomenon creates a kind of literary ecosystem in which oral, aural, manuscript, and print texts each continuously affect the meaning of the other.
