Luxury in Puritan Days From Harper's Magazine
A compact survey traces enduring tension between frugal Puritan norms and episodes of luxury in early America. It notes that even strict sumptuary laws failed to curb attire and display among Puritans, then moves through 18th century examples of aristocratic taste, Washington’s Mount Vernon lifestyle, and Democratic admiration for republican ideals alongside occasional lavishness. Included are brief asides from modern papers and a humor quip about a pastor and a road scholar.
