New York times, 8 January 2015 (Sacvan Bercovitch; born Oct. 4, 1939 in Montreal; died Dec. 9, 2014 in Brookline, Mass.; aged 81; a distinguished literary scholar who traced America's self-image of "exceptionalism" to the rhetoric of the colonial Puritans of New England. Born into a Yiddish-speaking left-wing family in a Jewish ghetto in Montreal, his first name is a combination of Sacco and Vanzetti, two anarchists who many thought had been wrongly executed in 1927 for murder and armed robbery.)
