"On court days in colonial New England, folks gathered from miles around to listen as local magistrates convened to hear cases. In the abundant records extant from these hearings, we experience the passions and concerns of ordinary people, often in their own words, more than three centuries after the emotion-charged events that brought them to court. Rapaport is a lawyer and historian who, by drawing on these court records, has created an award-winning column for New England Ancestors, the journal of the New England Historic Genealogical Society. Some of the twenty-five true stories in The Naked Quaker were previously published there; others are new to this volume. Rapaport‚Äôs topics include: ‚ÄúWitches and Wild Women,‚Äù ‚ÄúCoupling,‚Äù ‚ÄúTavern Tales,‚Äù and ‚ÄúSunday Meeting.‚Äù The title story concerns a Quaker woman who walked into Puritan Sunday meeting and dropped her dress in front of the gathering, to protest actions of the colonial authorities."

I love this book

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2017

Verified Purchase

The only thing wrong with this book is that the author beat me to it, and did it better. The prosy style makes the book easy to read, and the stories are hilarious, interesting, surprising, or horrifying. A good read that anyone can enjoy.

Excellent lesson about the purity of Colonial New England

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2012

Verified Purchase

This is an excellent book! I am finding each and every historical account fascinating and I am certainly learning that things were not as pure as standard history books lead you to believe. The Naked Quaker is well written and I look forward to reading more books by the author.

My 8x Great-Grandmother!

Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2015

Verified Purchase

Love the book. I ordered the book because The Naked Quaker is my 8x great-grandmother. I thought that story would be all I might be interested in reading. I was surprised how Diane Rapaport told such interesting stories by researching the old court records. Really interesting read and it's pretty crazy to know my grandmother was The Naked Quaker!

Didn't want to finish

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2010

Verified Purchase

The stories are perfect for what they originally were which is magazine articles. As a collection though they become repetitive and disjointed. I had this book with me on 2 5 hour flights, a 4 hour train ride and a similar length bus ride. I still was not able to get myself to continue reading it. Only one person out ten in my book club liked it.

Who said history was boring?

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2012

A series of fascinating and often funny stories taken from court records during the colonial period. It just goes to show that there's nothing new under the sun -- drunkenness, adultery, public brawls and lawsuits seem to have been just as common then as they are now. Anybody who thinks the Puritans were just stuffy people in black and white clothes who never did anything fun should think again. I really enjoyed this.
