Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Benjamin Tompson, 1642-1714: First Native-Born Poet of America' is a definitive collection of the poetic works of a foundational figure in early American literature. As the first poet born on American soil, Tompson provides a unique and essential window into the cultural, religious, and social landscape of 17th-century New England. This volume brings together his significant contributions to the American canon, most notably the epic 'New-Englands Crisis,' which serves as a powerful contemporary account of King Philip's War. Through his verse, Tompson captures the anxieties and burgeoning identity of the Massachusetts Bay Colony with a sophisticated neoclassical style.The collection showcases Tompson's versatility as a writer, featuring his elegies, satires, and occasional verses. His work reflects the complex transition from European literary traditions to a distinct American voice, characterized by a deep engagement with the local landscape and the struggles of colonial life. This compilation highlights Tompson's intellectual legacy as a Harvard graduate and educator, offering readers a glimpse into the early intellectual life of the colonies. Benjamin Tompson remains a vital subject for scholars of American history and literature, and this collection preserves the wit and formal mastery of a poet who chronicled the birth of a nation's literary identity.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
