Сводка: Benes, the director of the Dublin Seminar for New England Folklife, has produced a handsome and magisterial volume that will be the definitive study of the meetinghouses of Puritan New England for this generation. Building on earlier work by himself and others, Benes offers not radical reinterpretation but carefully nuanced analysis and synthesis of a mass of information (much of which is tabulated in appendixes). Although focusing on architectural form and detail, the author studies the meetinghouse as a religious, social, and cultural artifact as well as an architectural phenomenon.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 403-428) and index.
