He chronicled his Atlantic crossing and early years in America (from April 26, 1668, to July 5, 1671) in his now-published Diary. He was admitted to Harvard College as a second year student soon after arriving in America and upon graduation in 1671 became pastor and physician at Westfield, on the remote western frontier of Massachusetts, where he remained until his death.
Poetry
Taylor's poems, in leather bindings of his own manufacture, survived him, but he had left instructions that his heirs should "never publish any of his writings," and the poems remained all but forgotten for more than 200 years. In 1937 Thomas H. Johnson discovered a 7,000-page quarto manuscript of Taylor's poetry in the library of Yale University and published a selection from it in The New England Quarterly. The appearance of these poems, wrote Taylor's biographer Norman S. Grabo, "established [Taylor] almost at once and without quibble as not only America's finest colonial poet, but as one of the most striking writers in the whole range of American literature." His most important poems, the first sections of Preparatory Meditations (1682–1725) and God's Determinations Touching His Elect and the Elects Combat in Their Conversion and Coming up to God in Christ: Together with the Comfortable Effects Thereof (c. 1680), were published shortly after their discovery. His complete poems, however, were not published until 1960. He is the only major American poet to have written in the metaphysical style.
Originally intending to seek a career in acting, Taylor applied to join Cambridge University, appearing in the 1955 Cambridge Footlights revue and becoming a scriptwriter after being noticed by a BBC talent scout and hired for a one-year contract. Taylor’s career with the BBC subsequently lasted for 36 years, during which he wrote a total of 2,300 programmes. He also produced several shows, not just situation comedies that he had written (or co-written) himself but also comedy panel games, including some editions of Just a Minute.
Taylor came up with the idea for The Men from the Ministry after a lunch with actor friend Richard Murdoch in the early 1960s, during which Murdoch asked Taylor to write a comedy for him to appear in.
The Men from the Ministry ran for 144 episodes and versions were also produced in South Africa, Sweden and Finland, Taylor continuing to write additional episodes for the Finnish version right up to 2008.

How Do Cultures Evolve? - Anthropological Theory – Edward Burnett Tylor
19th Century Anthropologist Edward Burnett Tylor developed “unilineal cultural evolution”—a theory implying that cultures evolve from simple to complex forms. Unfortunately, some “Primitive” cultures could be considered “stuck” and unable to evolve.
Tylor believed that all of our cultural innovations, not only firearms, but also science, mathematics, and even religion, evolved. But in their evolution, some cultural practices, like shaking hands or saying “Bless you,” were carried into the present, even though many of their original meanings have been lost; shaking hands originally was a way to show that we came in peace and didn’t have any weapons; and we used to say “God Bless you,” because of an old belief that i...

How Do Cultures Evolve? - Anthropological Theory – Edward Burnett Tylor
19th Century Anthropologist Edward Burnett Tylor developed “unilineal cultural evolution”—a theory implying that cultures evolve from simple to complex forms. Unfortunately, some “Primitive” cultures could be considered “stuck” and unable to evolve.
Tylor believed that all of our cultural innovations, not only firearms, but also science, mathematics, and even religion, evolved. But in their evolution, some cultural practices, like shaking hands or saying “Bless you,” were carried into the present, even though many of their original meanings have been lost; shaking hands originally was a way to show that we came in peace and didn’t have any weapons; and we used to say “God Bless you,” because of an old belief that it was the soul trying to escape. For Tylor, cultural survivals like these proved that all cultures evolved from older “primitive” forms that look similar to what we see all over the world today. This idea that some contemporary cultures depict an evolutionary stage that ALL cultures evolved from is called uniformitarianism—which is a term borrowed from the natural sciences.
Tylor’s research focused mainly on religion. Being born into a British Quaker family, Tylor developed agnostic beliefs that led him to see religion as just another cultural and intellectual system. This is seen in his first book which is based off his observations from when he accompanied an archaeologist through Mexico. Here, Tylor (1861, 126) describes how a lot of the instability and poverty there was born out of the “doleful ignorance” that the Catholic Church perpetuated, especially as priests, who Tylor claimed concealed their own ignorance with fake wisdom and long words, had a monopoly on the educational system.
In some ways, Tylor rejected racism because his “uniformitarianism” argued that all human minds are similar, and so we can look at other humans to see older stages of culture. In his two-volume series Primitive Culture, Tylor outlines all his ideas, as well as giving what’s considered to be the first real definition of culture as: “that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, law, morals, custom and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society.”
Later anthropologists, like Franz Boas, would reject “evolution” as a proper theory altogether because it assumes way too much. Instead, Boas would argue that we need to understand the specific cultural contexts that cultures developed, and a large part of this is rooted in history.
