Colonial Roots: Settlement to 1783, the first volume in the
six-title series History Through Literature: American Voices,
American Themes, provides insights and analysis regarding the
history, literature, and cultural climate of the nation's formative
era. It brings together informational text and primary documents
that cover notable historic events and trends, authors, literary
works, social movements, and cultural and artistic themes. Colonial
Roots begins with an interdisciplinary chronology that identifies,
defines, and places in context the notable historical events,
literary works, authors' lives, and cultural landmarks of the
period. This is followed by a comprehensive overview essay that
summarises the era's major historical trends, social movements,
cultural and artistic themes, literary voices, and enduring works
as reflections of each other and the spirit of the times. The core
content comprises 20-30 articles on representative writers of the
period, along with excerpts from essential literary works that
highlight a historical theme, sociocultural movement, or the
confluence of the two. These excerpts serve the Common Core
emphasis on "informational texts from a broad range of cultures and
periods", including "stories, drama, poetry, and literary
nonfiction".
