A History of American Literature, 1676-1765 by Moses Coit Tyler is a comprehensive overview of the literary landscape of America during the colonial period. The book explores the development of American literature from its earliest beginnings in the 17th century to the mid-18th century, covering a wide range of genres including poetry, prose, and drama.The author begins by examining the early colonial period, discussing the influence of Puritanism on literature and the emergence of the first American writers. He then moves on to the Enlightenment period, exploring the impact of European philosophy and literature on American writers and the development of a distinctly American literary voice.Throughout the book, Tyler provides detailed analyses of the works of key writers of the period, including Cotton Mather, Jonathan Edwards, Benjamin Franklin, and Phillis Wheatley. He also examines the role of literature in shaping American culture and identity, and the ways in which writers responded to the social and political issues of their time.Overall, A History of American Literature, 1676-1765 is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the development of American literature and the cultural history of the United States. Tyler's engaging writing style and thorough research make this book an accessible and informative read for scholars, students, and general readers alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
