Readings for October 18-20

My apologies.  I've been reading papers all weekend and have neglected the blog.  Please read:

Tuesday:  Jonathan Edwards (311; from Personal Narrative 312-319; "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" 320-332)  and Cotton Mather (259-268).  I am not going to lie.  Cotton Mather is a bear.  But on Monday we'll compare Edwards, Mather and John Cotton.  And you'll be interested in what Mather has to say about William Bradford.

Wednesday:  Anne Bradstreet (176-192--"Contemplations" and "To My Dear Children" are OPTIONAL.)  But read all the shorter poetry aloud.  It will make a lot more sense.

Thursday:  Ann Hutchinson (159-169) and Mary Rowlandson (217-230).  I'm not going to give anything away, but I think you are likely to enjoy both these ladies.

REMINDER:  2nd draft explications will be due a week from Tuesday, on October 25th. 

Please email with questions.
