Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson - Mrs Mary Rowlandson - Bog

Bag om Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson

Mary Rowlandson's captivity narrative describes her experience as a captive of the Native Americans during the King Philips War in 1676. Her diary accounts for her capture to her return, although written a few years post her release. Her capture spanned around 11 weeks and is recounted in twenty 'removes'. Specifically, Rowlandson observes her experience in relation to God and the bible, her capture being expressed as a trial from God which she must endure with faith; only in doing so would she survive and remain a true Christian woman suitable for Puritan society. It is through this Christian perspective that she judges the Native Americans, creating an obvious bias against their culture.
