Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from American Literature
American literature prior to 1765, for Obvious reasons, has no place in elementary instruction; very few books Of Revolutionary times were written with a real literary in tention. These two periods have therefore been crowded into a few pages, and the main attention of the book directed to the interpretation of the later movement of mind in New England by which literature was set free from the chilling in?uence of Puritanism.
