Round 14: Tossup 4
A work in this genre inspired the title of Perry Miller’s intellectual history Errand into the Wilderness. Benjamin Franklin’s Autobiography discusses his support of Samuel Hemphill against charges of plagiarizing these works. Jonathan Mayhew and John Cotton wrote “election” examples of these works. After sharing one of these works, a visibly feeble character from an 1850 novel is told “thou hast escaped me!” by a man as he dies in a woman’s arms in front of a crowd. One work in this genre notes that “the eyes of all people are upon us,” and another contains the image of a “loathsome” insect being held “over the fire.” For 10 points, John Winthrop’s “A Model of Christian Charity” and Jonathan Edwards’s “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” are what kind of works? ■END■
