"In this investigation of the everyday lives of men in colonial Massachusetts and Connecticut, Lisa Wilson brings to life the domestic world of prerevolutionary New England. She finds that colonial men spent most of their time in a multigendered home environment and, unlike the self-reliant men of the next century, sought interdependence with family and community."
