Reviews
“It is doubtful that there is anyone as knowledgeable about William Penn, the Quaker, as Frost is.” —Robynne Rogers Healey,coeditor of Quaker Women, 1800–1920: Studies of a Changing Landscape “A stunning assortment of masterful essays. Frost appreciatively and critically examines significant little-known historical details of Penn’s life and the numerous myths that have grown up around him. Penn’s Quaker ministry and preaching are treated in more detail here than in other biographies. Highly recommended for those reading about Penn for the first time as well as for scholars of history and theology.” —Stephen W. Angell,coeditor of The Creation of Modern Quaker Diversity, 1830–1937
