Public Worship, Private Faith

Sacred Harp And American Folksong

BY JOHN BEALE
19th century Americans were inundated by books of Sharpe note singing, but only the popularity of The Sacred Harp has endured throughout the 20th century. With this as his focus, John Bealle surveys definitive moments in American musical history, from the lively singing schools of the New England Puritans to the bold "New South" movement that sought to transform the southern economy, from the nostalgic culture-writing era of the Great Depression to the post-World War II folksong revival.

Quaker Aesthetics

Reflections On A Quaker Ethic In American Design And Consumption, 1720-1920

EDITED BY EMMA LAPSANSKY AND ANNE VERPLANCK
The notion of a uniquely Quaker style in architecture, dress, and domestic interiors is a subject with which scholars have long grappled, since Quakers have traditionally held both an appreciation for high quality workmanship and a distrust of ostentation. Detailing how Quakers have manufactured, bought, and used such goods as clothing, furniture, and buildings, the essays in Quaker Aesthetics reveal a much more complicated picture than that of a simple people with simple tastes.

The Quaker Bible Reader

EDITED BY PAUL BUCKLEY AND STEPHEN ANGELL
Thirteen very different Quakers look at portions of scripture, describe what they find, and how they found it. Their goal is to encourage every Friend to engage the Bible, "not passively accepting someone else's interpretation; not looking for 'the good parts' and skipping the rest; not contorting scripture to support pre-determined ideas - but entering into a dialog with this ancient book, exploring your own assumptions about God, and deepening your relationship with the divine." - Marty Paxson Grundy Contributors include John Punshon, Howard Macy, Beckey Phipps, Esther Mombo, Anthony Prete, and Deborah Shaw.

The Quaker Community On Barbados

Challenging The Culture Of The Planter Class

BY LARRY CRAGG
Prior to the Quakers' large-scale migration to Pennsylvania, Barbados had more Quakers than any other English colony. But on this island of sugar plantations, Quakers confronted material temptations and had to temper founder George Fox's admonitions regarding slavery with the demoralizing realities of daily life in a slave-based economy-one where most Quakers owned slaves. Gragg shows how the community dealt with these contradictions as it struggled to change the culture of the richest of England's seventeenth-century colonies.
