American Poetry of the Seventeenth Century

Harrison T. Meserole

4.9/5 (16820 ratings)

Description:This definitive anthology of colonial American poetry is now available in a classroom edition reflecting recent scholarship. The book presents 250 representative poems -- 59 printed here for the first time -- accompanied by Professor Meserole's illuminating introduction, notes, glosses, comments, and catalogue of sources. The poems recreate vividly the flavor of life in the colonial period, revealing the thoughts and feeling of early Americans. Included here are love lyrics, religious meditations, political satire, elegies, and personal narratives. It is clear that seventeenth-century American poetry is in effect a diary of the period, relating political squabbles, religious controversies, and everyday preoccupations such as Indian attacks, births and deaths, witchcraft, and (not least problematic) New England weather. Thus this book reflects colonial life as well as literature. Book jacket.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
