A landmark contribution to the study of American exceptionalism. Tracing the influence of Puritan John Winthrop's mythic concept of 'a city on a hill' from his 1630 sermon, Van Engen tells the stories of curators, librarians, collectors, and others to show how Winthrop's idea has shaped not only America's collective consciousness but also competing visions of the country. 392 pages, hardcover from Yale University.
