Résumé : | In 1698, William Penn, the Quaker preacher, writer and founder of Pennsylvania, travelled to Ireland to tend to his county Cork estates and to participate in a missionary tour of the country. Shortly after his arrival in Dublin, Penn was attacked in print by an obscure Baptist named John Plimpton, sparking off a short-lived pamphlet debate. By introducing new evidence that sheds light on some of the ‘lost’ contributions to this debate, this article clarifies the origins, chronology, and geographical scope of the 1698 pamphlet exchange between Penn and Plimpton. |
