"In the 17^th century Puritanism became the movement which contended for the constitutional rights and liberties of the people as against the encroachments of the crown. Some of the greatest names in English history and literature were Puritans, including: Oliver Cromwell, John Milton, Richard Baxter and John Bunyan.
The Puritans regarded scholarship, knowledge, art and beauty as sacred things. They tried to recognise the voice of God speaking through the forces of history, in the facts of daily life, as well as from the pages of the Bible.
The Puritans saw the development of Man's richer nature as gifts of God, enriching culture and shaping life..."

Why is the ‘Puritan Mind’ paramount in understanding Literature and the social/cultural context of the 17th and 18th centuries?
