520 "Who was Elizabeth Tuttle? In most histories, she is a
footnote, a blip. At best, she is a minor villain in the
story of Jonathan Edwards, perhaps the greatest American
theologian of the colonial era. Many historians consider
Jonathan Edwards a theological genius, wildly ahead of his
time, a Puritan hero. Elizabeth Tuttle was Edwards's
"crazy grandmother," the one whose madness and adultery
drove his despairing grandfather to divorce. In this
compelling and meticulously researched work of micro-
history, Ava Chamberlain unearths a fuller history of
Elizabeth Tuttle. It is a violent and tragic story in
which anxious patriarchs struggle to govern their
households, unruly women disobey their husbands, mental
illness tears families apart, and loved ones die sudden
deaths. Through the lens of Elizabeth Tuttle, Chamberlain
re-examines the common narrative of Jonathan Edwards's
ancestry, giving his long-ignored paternal grandmother a
voice. Tracing this story into the 19th century, she
creates a new way of looking at both ordinary families of
colonial New England and how Jonathan Edwards's family has
been remembered by his descendants, contemporary
historians, and, significantly, eugenicists. For as
Chamberlain uncovers, it was during the eugenics movement,
which employed the Edwards family as an ideal, that the
crazy grandmother story took shape. The Notorious
Elizabeth Tuttle not only brings to light the tragic story
of an ordinary woman living in early New England, it also
explores the deeper tension between the ideal of Puritan
family life and its messy reality, complicating the way
America has thought about its Puritan past."--Project
