Abstract
The emergence of industrial society in England was accelerated by Puritanism, but Puritanism's influence depended on a complex interaction among religious, political, and economic spheres. Seventeenth-century English society experienced massive social and cultural polarization. Both emerging camps deviated radically from English tradition while diverging from one another: the Anglican-Royalists toward a much more peasant type of society; the PuritanParliamentarians toward a much more proto-industrial type. The development of each sociocultural system was catalyzed by cumulative reactions against the other. Their development and the interaction between them was complicated by differential stress on nationhood, religion, and social class. Neither these phenomena nor the emergence of the current form of western industrial society can be explained adequately by deterministic specification; assessment of cumulatively limiting necessary conditions is needed.
