| Summary | "WILLIAM PENN" by George Hodges is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the life of William Penn, a pivotal figure in the establishment of Pennsylvania, exploring his religious convictions, relationships, and the societal contexts that shaped his experiences and actions. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces Penn's family background, highlighting the contrasting personalities of his parents. It discusses his Puritan upbringing, his formative experiences at school and Oxford, and the early religious visions that deeply impacted him. The opening portrays a young, introspective boy shaped by the tumultuous political landscape of 17th century England, against a backdrop of naval power and shifting allegiances, setting the stage for Penn's later decisions to embrace Quakerism and pursue a life dedicated to personal faith and public service.
