Perry Miller specialized in the history of early America, and took an active role in a revisionist view of the colonial Puritan theocracy that was cultivated at Harvard University beginning in the 1920s. Heavy drinking led to Perry's premature death at the age of fifty-eight. "Miller was a great historian of Puritanism but the dark conflicts of the Puritan mind eroded his own mental stability."
