Defining a Nation: The Literature of Early America, 1645-1819
The Literature of Early America contains nearly every literary work printed in America up to 1819. It contains works by celebrated authors like Jonathan Edwards, Thomas Paine, Phyllis Wheatley, and Benjamin Franklin as well as hundreds of lesser-known works—many of them by women and African Americans–exploring relations between settlers; family life; the American political and social scene; slavery and antislavery; Native American tribes; and countless other subjects. Importantly, this database also includes the foreign literary works that were published in America during this era—providing researchers with a unique tool for tracing the influence of those works on the American authors of the period and on the entire American literary scene.
This database covers many topical categories such as educational and historical literature, musical works and poetry, mortality and death, non-fiction and prose, religious literature, and others. It provides researchers with the ability to research more than 80 forms of literature. – Publisher
