Contents
History Through Literature: Colonial Roots (Settlement to 1783) is the first in a six-volume series designed to support interdisciplinary coursework and independent reading in American history and letters. The material presented in each volume is selected and organized to enrich the study of the nations historical record, its literary heritage, and their mutual influences.
Each volume begins with a chronology that identifies, defines, and places in context the notable historical events, literary works, authors lives, and cultural movements of the period in question. The centerpiece of the volume is a comprehensive overview essay that highlights the eras major historical trends, social and cultural movements, literary voices, and landmark works as reflections of each other and the spirit of the times. The core content comprises some 2030 shorter articlesall drawn from the archives of the Sharpe Reference and Sharpe Online Reference imprintson lives and works in period literature, including extended excerpts. Special features called Sidelights apply a different lens to this exploration, focusing on historical literature as a reflection of both the time of the actual events and the time of the writing. In the present volume, Sidelights consider works of later eras on Sioux legend, the Salem witch trials of 1692, and Paul Reveres ride of April 1775.
Throughout the series, the designation of historical and literary periods is not bound by strict startend dates or specific events (with such key exceptions as national independence, the Civil War, the Great Depression, and World War II). The lives and works of writers obviously overlap any arbitrarily defined eras, and their styles and themes often evolve in ways that defy neat historical classification. Thus, the designation of historical periods and the selection of subjects in each volume are guided by subjective judgments based on several factorshistorical events, social and economic trends, and the rise and decline of artistic and cultural movements.
The first volume essentially begins with the founding of the first permanent English settlement in North America at Jamestown in 1607 and ends with the formal conclusion of the Revolutionary War and recognition of U.S. independence in 1783. As astute readers will note, however, even milestones such as these are not hard and fast. For example, William Bradfords early masterwork Of Plymouth Plantation, which he began in 1630 was not published until long after the colonial era, in 1856.
The nearly two centuries between English settlement and independence nevertheless witnessed a religious, cultural, philosophical, and political evolution whose major movements can be said to characterize the period. The settlers of Massachusetts were Protestant separatists who aspired to a city upon a hill, in the words of John Winthrop, based on Puritan values and Gods grace as the guide to individual moral behavior and a successful community.
Also European in origin, the Enlightenment brought an intellectual and philosophical sea change to the American colonies. Not only did the leading lights of the Scientific Revolution challenge centuries-old religious assumptions about the physical universe, but Enlightenment philosophers on both sides of the Atlantic embraced such concepts as reason, individual rights, and the political ideals of liberty, democracy, and the sovereignty of the people.
At least partially in response to the Enlightenment emphasis on rational thought and intellectual rigor, the Great Awakening of the 1730s and 1740s marked a renewal of Protestant zeal and submission to the will of God that set the tone for a unique, recurring brand of American evangelicalism in the centuries to come.
And finally, of course, British imperial policies and the rising tide of political rebellion became overriding concerns throughout the 13 colonies by the 1760s.
These defining movements were at once an inspiration, a reflection, and in some measure a consequence of the writings that have endured from the period. The authors and works presented in this volume, all practitioners and prominent examples of nonfictionjournal histories, personal histories, natural histories, sermons, poems, political tracts, and popular adagesthus provide a unique perspective on the study of history through literature, and vice-versa.
  • 1565 Spanish settlers establish the first continuously inhabited European settlement in what is now the United States, at St. Augustine, Florida. Aside from the oral tradition of native peoples, the literature of the New World before English settlement comprised the accounts of early Spanish and French explorers, soldiers, and missionaries.
