Early American Writing: Historical Context Overview

Early American literature captures a nation in its infancy. From the first interactions between Native Americans and Europeans to the stirring cries of the Revolutionary War, writers chronicled the tensions and the triumphs of the day.

A. The Meeting of Two Worlds: The earliest writers chronicled how the Europeans and Native Americans viewed one another and the North American land. ▫Two writers of the time would be William Wood and William Bradford.

B. From Colony to Colony The first permanent colony was established at Jamestown in The colonies declared themselves to be “free and independent” in 1776 and fought and defeated one of the greatest military powers on earth to turn their declaration into a reality. ▫Important writers and documents from this time would be Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution of the United States.

C. Cultural Influences: Religion was the most influential cultural force on writers of this period. Puritan values and beliefs directed people’s everyday lives as well as the formation of an American society. ▫Examples of writers would be Anne Bradstreet and John Winthrop.

D. Ideas of the Age: In the 1700s, there was a burst of intellectual energy taking place in Europe that came to be known as the Enlightenment. Enlightenment thinkers had begun to question previously accepted truths about who should hold the power in the government. ▫American Enlightenment writers were Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry.

A Voice of the Times: “ We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among there are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. “ -Thomas Jefferson The Declaration of Independence
