1 | The Hypocrisy of Puritanism (Unabridged) | Emma Goldman |
Emma Goldman harshly criticizes Puritanism and its reign of terror in England during the 16th and 17th centuries. She claims that it hurt writers like Oscar Wilde and Shelley, and alienated Byron from his native land. She calls Puritanism a censor of the artistic expression of people, facilitating only the dullness of respectability. |
