1624 Politics in Plymouth Colony

October 3, 2018 @ 6:30 pm EDT

Pilgrim Hall Museum
75 Court Street
Plymouth, MA 2360 United States


Dr. Richard Pickering of Plimoth Plantation explores the connections of the Pilgrims to the political theory and pragmatic experience of Renaissance Italy. Many people might be surprised to learn that William Brewster, the ruling elder of the Plymouth congregation, owned Machiavelli’s The Prince and Governor Bradford owned a history of Italy. Early New England resembled Italian city states in some ways, with civil commonwealths vying for resources. Pickering tracks these Renaissance influences and the tensions they may have generated in early Plymouth.
