Excerpt from The Puritans: An Historical Poem of America and the Birth of Freedom With Notes Our Pilgrim Fathers 1 - The Puritan Pilgrims! what a name to conjure with, O men of Earth! Three hundred years ago they came and gave to Freedom that new birth Which makes Autocracy unbend before a Sovereign people's will In Church and State - but hark ye! how our God his wonders did fulfill: 5 - From England into Holland fled, with grievance naught against their king - To worship as their conscience led chose they a homeless wandering.

Excerpt from Caleb Field: A Tale of the Puritans On the other side of the Border we find divisions enough. Churches separate from each other, and hear ing separate names; but all cling with like tenacity to the same standards, the same forms, the same doctrine, and the same discipline. There is nothing in which the national characteristics are more clearly displayed. The intense Scottish mind moves on strongly in one direction - unanimous in all the greater points - *aiming always when it marches to march as a nation. The English mind asserts its individuality, and strikes out alone, breaking into sections even in the one Church which professes to be undivided; and out of that pale, in the freer regions of Dissent, multiplying in constant diversity.

The First Century of New England Verse (Classic Reprint) by Harold S. Jantz Pdf
Excerpt from The First Century of New England Verse In my fathomless nalvet I was not content simply to present the new discoveries; I felt I needed to find out all that had hitherto been known about our early verse, so that I could see the new parts in their proper setting and perspec tive. The results were disastrous for my spare time and made necessary a thorough revision of my leisurely plans, for it soon became apparent that previous surveys and bibliographies were unacquainted not only with the un published verse but also with a large part of the printed verse. As a result, many of the literary judgments andgeneral conclusions were almost worthless, since they left out of account so much of our finest verse (some of which flatly contradicts their material and critical statements) and gave undue emphasis to certain well-known poems which are strictly mediocre or worse. The list of previously known Puritan poets was compiled in an amusingly haphazard fashion more than a century ago. An anonymous reviewer in the American Quarterly Review of December, 1827, wrote the first survey of Puritan verse which I have been able to find, including whatever had come to his attention. Leaning heavily on this article, but expanding its contents, Samuel Kettell two years later made the second survey in the introduction to his Specimens of American Poetry, and there we had the almost immutable canon of thirty-odd writers, impartially chosen from among the good, indifferent, and bad versifiers of the period, on which no one has tried to improve except by reduction or by occasional single additions. Moses Coit Tyler's noted History of American Literature, 1878, added not one new name of the slightest importance (though his critical exam ination is on a far higher plane), nor did the Cambridge History of American Literature of over forty years later, nor any of the lesser surveys. Even the surveys and bibliog raphies specifically concerned with the early verse added very little. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Puritan and Anglican: Studies in Literature The Puritan writers with whom I deal are such as to render the title "Puritan and Anglican" not inexact, although many the Puritan party were loyal members of the Anglican Communion. In choosing my subjects 1 have been influenced by two things: first, I have spoken only of writers with whom I have dwelt long and intimately; and secondly, among such writers I have spoken only of those who move me to speak through some personal interest which I feel in the men or their work. Hence without scruple or regret I omit many great names, being ere content to indulge my own likings. I have desired to remain close to my subjects, a many passages, for example, of what I have written 1 Herbert and Vaughan, it is Herbert and Vaughan ho are in fact the speakers; but I did not think) necessary to encumber my pages with a crowd of references to scattered poems from which their thoughts ad phrases have been collected.

Excerpt from The Puritan: A Series of Essays, Critical, Moral, and Miscellaneous In these volumes, I have attempted a difficult task; and if I shall'be pronounced to have failed, I shall neither be grieved nor surprised. I have attempted to remember, in every page, that I am an American; and to Write to the wants and manners of just such a people as those among whom I was born. I have always blamed our' authors, for forgetting the woods, the vales, the hills and streams, the manners and minds, among which their earliest impressions were received, and their first and most innocent hours were passed. A sprig of White weed, raised in our own soil, should be more Sweet than the marjoram of Idalian bowers; and the screaking of the night-hawk's Wings, as he' stoops in our evening sky, should make better melody in our ears than the softest warblings of a foreign nightingale. If I have sometimes verged to too much homeliness and simplicity, my only apology is, in the language of Scripture - I dwell among mine own people.

A Legend of the Puritans, Or the Influence of Poetry and Religion on the Female Character; With Other Poems (Classic Reprint) by Susan Fisher Pdf
Excerpt from A Legend of the Puritans, or the Influence of Poetry and Religion on the Female Character; With Other Poems To amuse sleepless nights, by recalling past impressions, she composed The Legend. Her maternal ancestors, in common with the other inhabitants of Worcester, had suffered much during the Civil War, especially at the battle of Worcester: and from the traditionarynarratives which had impressed her imagina tion in early youth, she endeavoured to delineate a character that should exhibit her views of the sentiments which animated the Puritans, and, at the same time, impress upon the hearts of her children the power of religion, in union with literature and the domestic affections, to give support under the severest sufferings to which human nature is exposed. It may be permitted to one well acquainted with the habits and Opinions of the Puritans, to assert that they did not think the Poet's art a crime. Though regarded as fanatics by the rest of the world, yet, under a stem and perhaps repulsive exterior, they cherished, in the bosoms of their own families, that love of literature for which their descendants were distinguished: and it may not be too much to say, that deep and habitual piety will always contribute to a poetical taste; since Christianity has given the sanction of truth to our highest aspirations after future happiness, and has therefore lent to Poetry a charm and im portance which it never had before. If the author should be considered as pre sumptuous in supposing that what was intended for her own children might benefit others, she can only say that the humblest and most secluded individual may feel an interest in the welfare of her fellow-creatures. And, in this reading age, she hopes that what she has written may be useful to females in her own rank, especially to young mothers, to whom so great a trust is committed, and who are so often unprepared for their important duties.
