Franz Daniel Pastorius

and Transatlantic Culture

  German Beginnings,

Pennsylvania Conclusions

 

By John Weaver

  

Disconcerted by inequality in absolutist Europe, Franz Daniel Pastorius emigrated to William Penn’s Quaker colony, and forged one of the most versatile careers in colonial America. This study traces his growth to maturity in Germany and delineates his bicultural perceptions and convictions as a jurist, classicist and radical social critic. His unique perspective provides a fresh critique of contemporaneous society, religion and politics.
