• W2593043668 abstract "The Case of the Piglet's Paternity: Trials from the New Haven Colony, 1639-1663 Jon C. Blue. Wesleyan University Press, 2015.The Case of the Piglet's Paternity: Trials from the New Haven Colony, 1639-1663 sheds light on the social, cultural, legal, and moral lives of the Puritans. The Case of the Piglet's Paternity is named after a notorious sex case in which a man was brought to trial after having been accused of having sex with a pig and producing a piglet that looked like him in the face. From examining language use, what is revealed or left unsaid, the charges against the individual and the punishments, as well as the guiding principles and beliefs of the judges and how the court system worked, Jon C. Blue, judge of the Connecticut Superior Court, has recovered forgotten court records published almost two centuries ago and has vividly reconstructed the trials and recorded testimony. Examining thirty-three cases that occurred between 1639 and 1663, the author has written not just a legal history, a modern record of the past, but has written an engaging and intelligent microhistory of this time period and colony that nonlegal scholars can understand.Blue reveals the humans involved-from privateers to Quakers, from farmhands to shoemakers, men, women, and children. The individuals in the various cases often reappear in other ones. He points out how this colonial judicial system was both ahead of and behind its contemporary peers in England and other colonies, where it differed in its decision making process, and even how it looked as a forerunner to the current US system. The legal issues at hand range from witchcraft to bestiality to sinful behavior, and the ages of the characters vary as well. The introduction examines the creation of the colony and the judicial system at New Haven Colony in order to lay the groundwork for understanding the cases brought to trial and why they were handled the way they were or heard at all.Each of the cases is fascinating in its own way, from what it says, or doesn't say, about an individual's rights and the cultural expectations. Some cases are all too frustratingly familiar. Blue examines a sexual harassment case of Goodwife Fancy who worked for other families doing menial labor. Culturally, Goodwife Fancy had three strikes against belief in her testimony: she was female, she was of low station, and she had a criminal record. This problematic cultural bias will ring familiar to readers who pay attention to the news today. Though Goodwife Fancy's employer, Mark Meggs, was found guilty of a 'sinful and lustful attempt' (61), and he was dealt a whipping, Goodwife Fancy and her husband were both severely whipped on the orders of the court as well. …" @default.
