Colonial Prose and Poetry Volume I: The Transplanting of Culture, 1607-1650

Colonial Prose and Poetry Volume I: The Transplanting of Culture, 1607-1650

*Illustrated with over a dozen pictures of William Penn, the Founding Fathers, and the authors.
*Includes Table of Contents

Long before the United States became a free country, Europeans from all backgrounds entered the continent, and they began to commingle with Native Americans, often not peacefully. However, the mixtures of different ethnicities created a diverse and original culture that became quintessentially American by the time the American Revolution started in 1775.

In the early 20th century, an expansive anthology of colonial prose and poetry was compiled by William P. Trent, a professor of English at Columbia. The 57 writers in three volumes of colonial poetry spanned more than 150 years and represented the literary and cultural trends in Colonial North America—from the confrontation with the American Indians to Puritan life to opposition to slavery.

This edition of Colonial Prose and Poetry Volume I contains the writings of 15 authors who were among the earliest settlers of North America from 1607-1650, including the poetry of Anne Bradford, the sermons of John Mather and Roger Williams, and the descriptions of explorers like John Smith. It also includes over a dozen pictures of Colonial American leaders like William Penn and the Founding Fathers, as well as images of Quakers and Native Americans. It also includes pictures of some of the authors and a Table of Contents for easier navigation.
