Abstract

This paper examines how William Bradford’s On Plymouth Plantation attempts to link the Anglo-Saxon myth of migration and the notion of Christendom in a temporally identical socio-historical memory to promote a primarily national cause. Ultimately, Bradford’s text emerges as an historical document that sought provide the foundation for an Anglo-Saxon-based Christendom linked historically, not simply geographically.
