Editorial Reviews
Product Description
These eight reports by white settlers held captive by Indians gripped the imagination not only of early settlers but also of American writers through our history. Puritans among the Indians presents, in modern spelling, the best of the New England narratives. These both delineate the social and ideological struggle between the captors and the settlers, and constitute a dramatic rendition of the Puritans' spiritual struggle for redemption.

Excellent Resource for Captivity Literature, 2000-06-30
This book is an excellent introduction to the genre of the Puritan captivity narrative. It includes several of the most well-known narratives (including Mary Rowlandson), each with a brief introduction. In addition, the editors have provided an introduction to the genre in general that is well-written and informative. The bibliography is extensive and invaluable.
