Puritanism vs Pietism

In sense (from what I understand), both Puritanism and Pietism, was a renewal movement for the "idling" Protestant groups. The Puritan within the Reformed while Pietist within the Lutheran, though both influenced other groups at that time or sometime in the near future.

These two movements are something that I am personally most unfamiliar with and as such this thread is more of a question from me on what exactly these two movements were and what were the differences and similarites between the two.

Puritanism were the overt Protestants who wanted to "purify" the English Church of its Catholicism. They didn't get their way, so they chopped off the head of the king, the Archbishop of Canterbury, drove the Church underground...and cancelled Christmas, making it unlawful to practice it.

Needless to say, the people rejoiced with the return of the Monarchy, the unhiding of the Church, and the restoration of Christmas...even the moderate Puritans did.

Pietism within Lutheranism came about as a result of Calvinist/Zwinglian (reformed) influence. The first traces of this were already noted in the 1580 Book of Concord, and was addressed, along with other heresies as the Crypto-Calvinist Controversy: Book of Concord

These tended to be Lutherans of the Philipist variety, have adopted an altered version of the Book of Concord, and continued to evolve into what are now the non confessional synods. Pietism was very prevalent among the Scandinavian Churches.

Synods which rejected pietism decended from those who were often called "Geneso (Genuine) Lutherans", and are the ones which remain Confessional and subscribe to the unaltered 1580 edition of the BoC. The Apex of the Geneso Lutheran movement is known as "The Age of Orthodoxy", the same time period as J. S. Bach, and is reflected in his music and Masses.

Was there differences within Lutheran theology before the infiltration of Calvinism?
