Autorenporträt
Robert Cushman (1577-1625) was an English clergyman and a key figure among the Pilgrims, the sect of separatists who famously journeyed to the New World aboard the Mayflower. Noteworthy in his literary legacy is his pamphlet, 'The Sin and Danger of Self-Love,' published in 1621. This sermonic text provides an insight into the theological and moral underpinnings that guided the Pilgrims and reflects the Protestant Ethic prevalent during the early 17th century. Cushman's work is characterized by its didactic tone and puritanical ethos, emphasizing virtues such as humility and the peril of hubris. Beyond just being a writer, Robert Cushman played a pivotal role in organizing the Pilgrims' relocation to America, and his written work can be seen as both a reflection of his own beliefs and an articulation of the guiding principles of the Plymouth Colony. His contributions to the early literary canon of American colonies were instrumental in shaping the moral and religious fabric of early American society. Though 'The Sin and Danger of Self-Love' remains his most referenced text, Cushman's broader impact is recognized in the context of his role as a steward of Pilgrim affairs and as a speaker of their collective conscience. His literature embodies a historical moment where self-examination was paramount and echoes the Puritan preoccupation with the introspective scrutiny of personal piety and virtue.
