Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""I found two sortes of people, the one Christians, the other Infidels, these I found the most full of humanity and more friendly than the other." l So said Thomas Morton of MerryMount, one of the first of a long line of critics of New England Puritanism. Since then both the sins and the virtues of America have been laid at the door of Puritanism and the Pilgrim Fathers have been made the recipients of paeans of praise in commemoration speeches and of equally enthusiastic abuse from reactionaries. The one point upon which both parties meet is that Puritanism was a tremendous factor in the formation of American life and character: where they disagree is whether this force was for good or ill.

Download or read book The Gothic Literature and History of New England written by Faye Ringel and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2022-02 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gothic Literature and History of New England surveys the history, nature and future of the Gothic mode in the region, from the witch trials through the Black Lives Matter Movement. Texts include Cotton Mather and other Puritan divines who collected folklore of the supernatural; the Frontier Gothic of Indian captivity narratives; the canonical authors of the American Renaissance such as Melville and Hawthorne; the women's ghost story tradition and the Domestic Gothic from Harriet Beecher Stowe to Charlotte Perkins Gilman to Shirley Jackson; H. P. Lovecraft; Stephen King; and writers of the current generation who respond to racial and gender issues. The work brings to the surface the religious intolerance, racism and misogyny inherent in the New England Gothic, and how these nightmares continue to haunt literature and popular culture—films, television and more.

LITERATURE IN AMERICA FROM IJOO TO 17 76 Until 1728, when Cotton Mather diedthe general state of literature in America remained unaltered. Between 1729 and 1776, the titles recorded by Whitcomb indicate decided change Jxth in the character of the publications and in their distribution. Out of some two hundred and thirty of these titles, only thirty-seven are precisely religious; thirty-eight are historical; fortv-seven are political; forty-eight--though none have survived in literature--are at least as literary as the verses of Wigglesworth or of Mrs. Bradstreet; and the rest--including scientific works, almanacs, periodicals, and the like--can be classed only as miscellaneous. In religious writing, New England remained more prolific than the rest of the country; but the most memorable religious work of this period, that of JonathanEdwards, was produced not in eastern Massachusetts, but in the Connecticut valley--in other words, under the influence not of Harvard College but of Yale. Each of the other classes of publication--historical polincajterarv, and miscellaneous--appeared in slightly greaterjnumbers elsewhere than in New England.

Download or read book Legends of New England written by John Greenleaf Whittier and published by . This book was released on 2017-07-31 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legends of New-England was John Greenleaf Whittier's first book, published in 1831. It includes Whittier's retelling of eighteen legends that were current in his time, some in prose and some in poetry. It is of interest because it is Whittier's earliest work, because it lets us look at early American folk legends, and because the stories themselves are fascinating. It has some of the earliest tales of the supernatural in American literature, which compare with Poe's and Hawthorne's stories. Given Whittier's importance as an American writer, it is surprising that this book has long been out of print. We are proud to make it available to the public once again. John Greenleaf Whittier was one of the most beloved American poets. Every school child learned his poems, and lines such as "Blessings on thee, little man, . Barefoot boy, with cheek of tan" and "'Shoot, if you must, this old gray head, . But spare your country's flag, ' she said." were widely quoted. Whittier was a Quaker and became an active abolitionist when he was in his twenties. He was the editor of two abolitionist newspapers, The Pennsylvania Freeman and The National Era, and was a founding member of the Liberty Party. He wrote two volumes of anti-slavery poetry. In 1866, just after slavery was abolished, Whittier published the book-length poem Snow-Bound, the best seller that established his reputation as a poet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As the first Europeans settled in America, they found themselves often sick, weak, and likely to die. Here, Ben Mutschler explores how illness shaped society and government in New England from roughly 1690 through 1820. He focuses on the building blocks of society and government-family, household, town, colony-and their multifaceted engagements with the problems that diseases caused. Illness both defined and strained early American institutions, bringing people together in the face of calamity yet also driving them apart when the costs of persevering became too high or were too unequally shared"--
Download or read book Twentieth Century Southern Literature written by J. A. BryantJr. and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-11-21 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authors discussed include: Wendell Berry, Erskine Caldwell, Truman Capote, Ralph Ellison, William Faulkner, Shelby Foote, Zora Neal Hurston, Bobbie Ann Mason, Cormac McCarthy, Flannery O'Connor, William Styron, Anne Tyler, Alice Walker, Robert Penn Warren, Eudora Welty, Tennessee Williams, Thomas Wolfe, Richard Wright, and many more. By World War II, the Southern Renaissance had established itself as one of the most significant literary events of the century, and today much of the best American fiction is southern fiction. Though the flowering of realistic and local-color writing during the first two decades of the century was a sign of things to come, the period between the two world wars was the crucial one for the South's literary development: a literary revival in Richmond came to fruition; at Vanderbilt University a group of young men produced The Fugitive, a remarkable, controversial magazine that published some of the century's best verse in its brief run; and the publication and widespread recognition of Faulkner (among others) inaugurated the great flood of southern writing that was to follow in novels, short stories, poetry, and plays. With more than forty years of experience writing and reading about the subject, and friendships with many of the figures discussed, J. A. Bryant is uniquely qualified to provide the first comprehensive account of southern American literature since 1900. Bryant pays attention to both the cultural and the historical context of the works and authors discussed, and presents the information in an enjoyable, accessible style. No lover of great American literature can afford to be without this book.
