      abstract = {John Winthrop, Jr. participated in a pan-European network  of natural philosophers who believed alchemy could improve  the human condition and hasten Christ's Second Coming.  Walter Woodward demonstrates how Winthrop and his  philosophy influenced New England's cultural formation: its  settlement, economy, religious toleration, Pequot Indian  relations, medical practice, witchcraft prosecution, and  imperial diplomacy. Prospero's America reconceptualizes the  significance of early modern science in shaping New England  hand in hand with Puritanism and politics.},
