Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University. / This dissertation presents the biography of Solomon Stoddard, 1643-1729, and evaluates his contribution to New England Puritanism. TO achieve these goals an examination of numerous other data providing fragments of biographical detail, together with extensive reading of Puritan literature was undertaken. The form is narrative, and the underlying thesis is to sustain or refute Puritan hagiography, which has either ignored Stoddard or condemned him as a malefactor. Stoddard's life spanned a significant and critical period in the development of Puritanism in New England. In a long and distinguished career as minister of the Northampton Church, and ecclesiastical spokesman for the Connecticut Valley, he exerted an influence over ecclesiastical affairs surpassed by none of his contemporaries. However, notwithstanding the historian's familiarity with Stoddard's name, only rare attempts have been made to shed some light on his career. [truncated]

Margaret Fuller’s and Elizabeth Stoddard’s innovative use of the language of flowers in “The Magnolia of Lake Pontchartrain” and The Morgesons explore multilevel feminine discourse in ways later described by Hélène Cixous and Luce Irigary. Fuller uses flowers symbolically in her text, not mimicking conventional sentimental motifs, but inspiring women’s independence and self-development. Fuller’s flower images become anthropomorphic possibilities for female empowerment which re-envision American women’s social roles and express Fuller’s developing feminism. Stoddard’s use of flowers reflects her realist writing and captures many of the contemporary social applications of flowers. Stoddard, like Alice Walker, sees some artistic agency for women through gardening, but ultimately finds the comparison of women to flowers an antiquated system which holds women back in search of social progress.
