...with ‘materialism’ and lots of other pejorative stuff.” Puritans of the 17th century, it turns out, were not the Scrooges Will portrayed; instead, they “were basically agricultural artisan, not proto-industrialists; no evidence that they stinted, etc. They liked rich food and strong colors, and danced at weddings (well, some hints of disapproval of this!). I.e., they weren’t hostile to the ‘material world’ at all, but welcomed its fruits and blessings...
Hall wrote that the idea upon which Will’s criticism was founded—“the ‘repression’ idea,” which also posits that Puritans were “mean to kids, didn’t like sex, etc.,” wasn’t accurate either. Hall directed me to Edmund S. Morgan’s forthrightly-titled essay “Puritans and Sex,” in the December 1942 New England Quarterly. And it turns out that Puritans were by no means the prudes...

Theo, you’d be foolish not to. And if that someone is Kevin Brown, whoa mama. Can you imagine Pedro, Curt Schilling, Kevin Brown, Derek Lowe, Tim Wakefield, Byung Hyun-Kim? That pitching staff is better than some fantasy teams. And Red Sox fans, remember the playoffs a couple months ago? Oh, you do? Thought...
