Governing the Tongue : the Politics of Speech in Early New England.
Explaining why the spoken word assumed such importance in the culture of early New England, the author re-examines such famous Puritan events as the Salem witch trials and the banishment of Anne Hutchinson to expose the ever-present fear of what the puritans called "sins of the tongue."
