About This Item
New York:: Brentano's,, (1930). Hardcover -. Near fine in green cloth in a very good dust jacket.. Early printing. Although Anne Hutchinson, who immigrated to Boston in 1634 with her husband and eleven children became known for her weekly religious meetings, her relationship with the local ministers soon became acrimonious - and in 1637, she was tried, convicted and banished from the colony, as a heretic, an instrument of the devil, and a danger to all. The group was initially welcomed by Roger Williams into what became Rhode Island. Despite the condemnation of the ministers at the time, she is now considered an important figure in the history of religious freedom in the colonies - and of women speaking truth to power. Illustrated with a frontispiece and four internal plates. Bibliography, index. 320 pp.
