Colonial American literature It was largely influenced by British writers, and was created to inform people about colonial life, religious disputes and settlement issues
Colonial American literature is characterized by the narrative
Most of the literary works of this genre are composed of letters, journals, biographies and memoirs
Mary Rowlandson's narrative account, "The Sovereignty and Goodness of God story is categorized as an autobiography and a captivity narrative
Religion is also another characteristic of Colonial American literature and can be found mostly in Puritan writings
literature helped spread the message of God, suggesting that "life was a test"
Many of the Puritan works were written in poetry form
Anne Bradstreet's poetry, the "Bay Psalm Book," and Pastor Edward Taylor's "Preparatory Mediations" are good examples of religious texts of the era
Non-Puritan writers also used religion to show the religious tension between the Colonial settlers and Native Americans
the Enlightenment showed a great shift in Colonial American literature from a religious foundation to scientific reasoning applied to human nature, society, culture and political awareness. Many texts were written in pamphlet or narrative form and challenged the role of God and religious life, seeking to replace them with reason. Rational thought and science were the new themes. "The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin" and the pamphlet "Common Sense" by Thomas Paine explored many of these new ideas. Similar texts also led the way to more awareness of social, economic and scientific issues. The American Revolution had a large part to play in the shifting of ideas
