Publisher's Synopsis
The Simple Cobler of Aggawam in America is a satirical work written by Theodore de la Guard in the 17th century. The book is a commentary on the social and political issues of the time, and takes the form of a dialogue between a shoemaker, or cobler, and various other characters. The cobler, who is unnamed, offers his opinions on a wide range of topics, including religion, politics, education, and morality. He is critical of many aspects of American society, particularly the Puritanism of the time, which he sees as being overly strict and oppressive. The book is written in a humorous and satirical style, and is considered to be an important work of early American literature. It is also notable for its use of language, which is archaic and often difficult to understand for modern readers. Despite this, The Simple Cobler of Aggawam in America remains a fascinating and entertaining read for anyone interested in the history of American literature or the social and political issues of the 17th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
