The Sovereignty and Goodness of God: with Related Documents (Bedford Series in History and Culture)
A Bedford/St. Martin's paperback of Mary Rowlandson's 1682 captivity narrative, reprinted from the earliest surviving edition and supported by seventeen related documents. The text is brief, the theology is unflinching, and the account of capture and survival during Metacom's War remains a foundational document of colonial New England. The Bedford format is the familiar teaching edition: readable type, generous margins, and enough apparatus to keep a seminar arguing. Ideal reader: the reader who wants American literature before it learned to be a novel, or the student trying to understand how Puritan faith sounded when it was tested.
