[Vowell’s] a complex blend: part brilliant essayist, part pop-culture-loving comedian and a full-time unabashed history geek.

She is generous as she wrestles with the moral intricacies of our nation’s beginnings and how Puritan contradictions inform our sense of American exceptionalism today…The Wordy Shipmatesis more than a punk-ish twist on our brave, verbose, tortured forebears, living in their new colony like ‘an ashram in the woods.’” —Cleveland Plain Dealer For those of us who’d rather harvest our history lessons from The Simpsonsthan the History Channel, Vowell is a latter-day hero…Fascinating.” —Elle Vowell…reads history with attitude, humor and sensitivity.” —Minneapolis Star-Tribune [Vowell exercises] her trademark sweet, silly, arch sense of the incongruous ways we memorialize the American past.” —Chicago Tribune, "[Vowell''s] a complex blend: part brilliant essayist, part pop-culture-loving comedian and a full-time unabashed history geek.

Synopsis
In this New York Times bestseller, the author of Lafayette in the Somewhat United States "brings the Puritan era wickedly to life" ( Washington Post ). To this day, America views itself as a Puritan nation, but Sarah Vowell investigates what that means-and what it should mean. What she discovers is something far different from what their uptight shoebuckles- and-corn reputation might suggest-a highly literate, deeply principled, and surprisingly feisty people, whose story is filled with pamphlet feuds, witty courtroom dramas, and bloody vengeance. Vowell takes us from the modern-day reenactment of an Indian massacre to the Mohegan Sun casino, from old-timey Puritan poetry, where "righteousness" is rhymed with "wilderness," to a Mayflower-themed waterslide. Throughout, The Wordy Shipmates is rich in historical fact, humorous insight, and social commentary by one of America's most celebrated voices., In this New York Times bestseller, the author of Lafayette in the Somewhat United States "brings the Puritan] era wickedly to life" ( Washington Post ).
