About Dissenting Bodies

For the Puritan separatists of seventeenth century New England godliness as manifested by the body was the sign of election and the body with its material demands and metaphorical significance became the axis upon which all colonial activity and religious meaning turned Drawing on literature documents and critical studies of embodiment as practiced in the New England colonies Martha L Finch launches a fascinating investigation into the scientific theological and cultural conceptions of corporeality at a pivotal moment in Anglo Protestant history Not only were settlers forced to interact bodily with native populations and other new world communities they also fought starvation and illness were whipped branded hanged and murdered sang prayed and preached engaged in sexual relations and were baptized according to their faith All these activities shaped the colonists understanding of their existence and the godly principles of their young society Finch focuses specifically on Plymouth Colony and those who endeavored to make visible what they believed to be God s divine will Quakers Indians and others challenged these beliefs and the constant struggle to survive build cohesive communities and regulate behavior forced further adjustments Merging theological medical and other positions on corporeality with testimonies on colonial life Finch brilliantly complicates our encounter with early Puritan New England
