Contradance: A Puritan's Progress In New Orleans is a novel written by Willson Whitman. The story is set in the city of New Orleans and revolves around a Puritan named John Morton who moves to the city with his wife, Mary. John is a man of strict religious beliefs and finds himself struggling to adjust to the liberal and hedonistic lifestyle of New Orleans. As John tries to navigate his way through the city, he meets a diverse group of characters, including musicians, artists, and prostitutes. He is particularly drawn to a young woman named Lucie, who introduces him to the world of contradancing. Through his experiences in New Orleans, John begins to question his own beliefs and values. He struggles to reconcile his Puritanical upbringing with the freedom and joy he finds in contradancing and the people he meets. The novel explores themes of religion, morality, and cultural clashes. It also provides a vivid depiction of life in New Orleans, including its music, food, and customs. Overall, Contradance: A Puritan's Progress In New Orleans is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers a unique perspective on the clash between traditional and modern values.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
