The Journal and Major Essays of John Woolman
In the latter part of the eighteenth century the Quaker minister John Woolman journeyed and preached throughout the American colonies. His Journal, a recognized American classic, portrays an ethical sensitivity comparable to St. Francis of Albert Schweitzer; and his keen sense of social injustice speaks directly to our affluent and increasingly divided mass society. Woolman's essays widely influenced social thought in the United States, and in England as well, where he was esteemed by Lamb and Coleridge.
Professor Moulton's edition of Woolman's major works - based on a thorough examination of all relevant manuscripts in America and Britain - is the first to reflect Woolman's final intentions with fidelity and scholarly accuracy.
Only this edition of the Journal includes Woolman's whole discussion of tax refusal as a form of anti-war protest and civil disobedience. Also included are "A Plea for the Poor" and "Considerations on Keeping Negroes" one of the earliest attacks on slavery.
The present volume includes an introduction by the editor, a chronology and glossary, biographical notes, an annotated bibliography, detailed notes on the text, appendices, and an index.
