The American Puritan Elegy: A Literary and Cultural Study - Cambridge Studies in American Literature and Culture
Hammond, Jeffrey A. (St Mary's College, Maryland)
Jeffrey Hammond's study takes an anthropological approach to the most popular form of poetry in early New England - the funeral elegy. Hammond reconstructs the historical, theological and cultural contexts of these poems to demonstrate how they responded to a specific process of mourning defined by Puritan views on death and grief.
