Summary
What if we told you that puritans were actually sex-crazed? Well maybe not crazed but definitely not opposed to it.
What if we told you that, actually, the entire mainstream belief of puritans being bound to strict moral and religious codes isn't totally true?
In this episode of American History Hit, Don is joined by Lori Rogers-Stokes to answer some of the big questions. Did the Puritans really wear all black? What's the difference between a Puritan and a Pilgrim? And was anyone ever marked with a scarlet letter?
Lori is an independent scholar, public historian, and contributing editor for New England’s Hidden Histories. She is the author of two books on the Puritans: 'Records of Trial from Thomas Shepard’s Church in Cambridge, 1638–49: Heroic Souls', and 'Gathered into a Church: Indigenous-English Congregationalism in Woodland New England'.
Edited by Tim Arstall. Produced by Sophie Gee. Senior Producer was Freddy Chick.
