Summary "Under Dispute" by Agnes Repplier is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. In this compilation, the author explores various themes regarding Puritanism, American identity, and societal norms, providing insights into the human condition through a historical lens. Repplier’s essays articulate her reflections on the complexities of human beliefs and behaviors, particularly in the context of the earlier generations of Americans. The opening of the work introduces the essay titled "The Masterful Puritan," where Repplier discusses the Puritans' strict beliefs and harsh realities of life during their early settlement in America. She examines their values, pointing out the contradictions between their religious fervor and the societal behaviors that emerged within their communities. Through her writing, Repplier reflects on the dualities present in their pursuit of ideals versus the pragmatism required for survival, setting the stage for deeper discussions about human nature and the shaping of American identity.
