Ulteriori informazioni










Exploring the emigration to colonial Pennsylvania of Welsh members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), this book appraises their experiences during a period of unparalleled change. It charts their patterns of settlement, considers the challenges they encountered as they adapted to the complexities of multi-ethnic Pennsylvanian life, and brings fresh insights into their religious ethos, the dynamics of Quaker family and community life. Above all, it provides an understanding of the experiences of these emigrants and their relationship with the wider movement in Britain, and situates this in the broader context of early-modern emigration to the American colonies.
