Résumé

Résumé : "The Puritan Twins" by Lucy Fitch Perkins is a historical novel set in 1638 New England, focusing on the lives of Daniel and Nancy Pepperell, twelve-year-old twins living in a Puritan settlement. The story begins with their mother, Goodwife Pepperell, searching for them as they neglect their chores. The twins are depicted as lively and curious, with Daniel being more responsible and Nancy more mischievous. Their mother tasks them with gathering clams, leading to an adventure where they are nearly caught by the tide. They are rescued by Captain Sanders, a seafaring man who knew their father back in England. The Captain's tales of the sea captivate Daniel, who is eager for adventure. The narrative explores the challenges of pioneer life, including the constant threat from the wilderness and the need for hard work and discipline. The Pepperell family is portrayed as devout and industrious, with a strong sense of community and reliance on faith. The story also touches on the moral and ethical dilemmas of the time, such as the use of slave labor and the treatment of Native Americans. Captain Sanders offers to take Daniel on a voyage to Plymouth and possibly to Providence, which excites the boy but worries his mother. The journey is seen as an opportunity for Daniel to learn and grow, reflecting the Puritan values of education and self-improvement. The novel provides a vivid depiction of early colonial life, highlighting the blend of adventure, danger, and the strict moral code that governed the settlers' lives.
