12. Clark, Michael. "Puritanism" The University of California Irvine School of Humanities. 5 June. 2008 < http://www.humanities.uci.edu/mclark/Core2002/Pix/Puritanism.html >. This website has a great description of the history of Puritanism and how the literature came about. The author also discusses the general Puritan beliefs, and how they relate to the literature. Based on what this author says, I would assume that for a work to be deemed Puritan it generally must be based on religion, particularly divine promise and the threat of imminent failure. This website has excerpts from a few Puritan works and has a heavy focus on Puritan poetry as well, which is useful because it highlights more than the typical sermons of the period. I believe the source to be credible as it is posted as a resource on a university website, by a department of the school focused solely on humanities.
Do you find this valuable?
