Are you a fan of historical fiction novels? If so, you may be interested in exploring the captivating world of puritan historical fiction. These novels transport readers back to a time when strict religious beliefs and social order shaped the lives of individuals. In this article, we will dive into the world of puritan historical fiction, introducing you to some notable novels, their talented authors, and a few recommended websites to fuel your reading appetite. One renowned puritan historical fiction novel worth exploring is "The Scarlet Letter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Set in 17th-century Puritan Boston, this gripping tale follows the story of Hester Prynne, a woman condemned for adultery, as she navigates society's judgment and the consequences of her actions. Hawthorne's masterful storytelling and exploration of themes such as sin, guilt, and redemption make this novel a must-read for fans of the genre. Another compelling novel within the puritan historical fiction genre is Arthur Miller's "The Crucible."

Miller explores the hysteria and paranoia that gripped the Puritan community during this dark period. "The Crucible" serves as a thought-provoking commentary on the dangers of religious extremism and group mentality, making it a classic in the genre. For readers seeking a different perspective on puritan historical fiction, Geraldine Brooks' "Year of Wonders" offers a unique narrative. This novel transports readers to 17th-century England, where a small village is ravaged by the bubonic plague. As the puritan community grapples with the devastating effects of the plague, the protagonist, Anna Frith, becomes a pillar of strength and resilience. Brooks' meticulous research and vivid storytelling paint a haunting and atmospheric picture of life during this treacherous time.
