Winthrop's Boston: A Portrait of a Puritan Town, 1630-1649 - Published by the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture and the University of North Carolina Press 1st edition

Winthrop's ideals were quite different from those generally ascribed to him, and the reality in New England was quite different from the ideals. The broad purpose of this analytical and interpretive study is to establish a Winthropian ideal and assess the difference between the ideal and the reality that evolved. It traces Boston's evolution from a community to a viable society.
