AUTHOR

Konig, David T.

SUMMARY

Distinguished by the critical value it assigns to law in Puritan society, this study describes precisely how the Massachusetts legal system differed from England's and how equity and an adapted common law became so useful to ordinary individuals. The author discovers that law gradually replaced religion and communalism as the source of social stability, and he gives a new interpretation to the witchcraft prosecutions of 1692.Konig, David T. is the author of 'Law and Society in Puritan Massachusetts: Essex County, 1629-1692', published 1981 under ISBN 9780807840818 and ISBN 0807840815.
