Nice story in the LA Times, “anxious providentialism” is a good phrase. Anyone know what ever happened to the sequels that were supposed to come to Albion’s Seed? I ask because your dad’s book sounds closely related, in that it looks at the Puritan influence on American culture, while Albion’s Seed posits four crucial strands from the early years: Puritans, Quakers, Cavaliers and Backwoods. The fourth is the weakest part of the argument, as it’s basically “everyone else,” but the book is very interesting. Frustratingly, it alludes to several continuations of the story (for example: American Plantations, something of the pre-history of the Civil War, taking “plantations” more in the sense of colonies and linking it, most likely, to the Protestant plantations in Ulster), which seem never to have been written. Should I check back with the Borges library?
