A Constitutional Culture: New England and the Struggle Against Arbitrary Rule in the Restoration Empire, with Professor Adrian Chastain Weimer (episode 295)
In this episode, I'm joined by Professor Adrian Chastain Weimer, author of the recent book A Constitutional Culture: New England and the Struggle Against Arbitrary Rule in the Restoration Empire. The book focuses on the period just after King Charles II returned the Stuarts to the English throne, during which he when he sought revenge against Boston Puritans for their perceived role in the execution of his father. Decades before the absolute rule of Edmund Andros, the crown sent four royal commissioners to Boston with secret orders that would upend every facet of public life, from voting to worship to the code of laws. Our conversation explores how the colonists defended their liberty within the constitutional system of colonial Massachusetts under restoration rule.

A Constitutional Culture
<
Adrian Chastain Weimer is a professor of history at Providence College, where her focus is on 17th century New England. Professor Weimer’s work examines the intersection between faith and public institutions, as well as the relationships between early English settlers and the Native communities surrounding them. Her first book, Martyr’s Mirror, examined how New England Puritans and minority religious groups envisioned themselves as persecuted by wider society, and she is currently editing the collected works of Daniel Gookin. A Constitutional Culture weaves together several of these interests, explaining how royalists tried to reinsert themselves into New England culture and government during the crisis that followed King Charles II’s return to the throne during the English restoration.
