Registration required; no fee
Maypoles and mayhem marked the unruly reign of Thomas Morton, the obstreperous neighbor of the Puritan New England colonies. Led by E.J. Barnes, this discussion will explore her comic story of Morton’s conflict with Massachusetts and Plimoth in Colonial Comics: New England, 1620-1750. We will also read and discuss Morton’s own witty and perceptive account of life in early New England, New English Canaan.
