Minister's Wooing

A New England seaport in the years after the Revolution, a girl promised to a sailor lost at sea, and a Calvinist theology that will not let her mourn him properly. Stowe grew up inside that theology and this is her quietest and most exact quarrel with it. This edition is bound with a gallery of 47 plates, among them paintings by Edvard Munch, Dirck Dalens III and Thomas Robbins, alongside 13 restored and coloured illustrations.
