Edmund S. Morgan's biography of John Winthrop follows the Puritans' most influential leader as he catches the fever of Puritanism in England, travels to the New World, and establishes himself as a central political figure and twelve-time governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Winthrop's struggles and accomplishments illuminate the puritan migration and the Puritans' attempts to build a new type of society in the New World. Winthrop and the Puritans faced a dilemma that is still pertinent today: what responsibility does a religious person owe to society?
