Colonial Writing and the New World 1583-1671 argues for a reading of the colonial period that attempts to render an account of both the European origins of colonial expansion and its specifically American consequences. The author offers an account of the simultaneous emergence of colonialism and nationalism during the early modern period, and of the role that English interactions with native populations played in attempts to articulate a coherent English identity. He draws on a wide variety of texts ranging from travel narratives and accounts of the colony in Virginia to sermons, conversion tracts and writings about the Algonquin language.American prose literatureColonial period, ca. 1600-1775History and criticismEnglish prose literatureEarly modern, 1500-1700History and criticismIndians of North AmericaFirst contact with EuropeansColonies in literatureDesire in literatureAllegoryUnited StatesHistoryColonial period, ca. 1600-1775HistoriographyGreat BritainColoniesAmericaHistoriographyAmericaIn literatureAmerican prose literatureHistory and criticism.English prose literatureHistory and criticism.Indians of North AmericaFirst contact with Europeans.Colonies in literature.Desire in literature.Allegory.818/.10809Scanlan Thomas541875MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822500503321Colonial writing and the new world 1583-1671882024UNINA
