A Preface to Colonial American Poetry is a practical source for
anyone interested in American literature. Encyclopedic and
groundbreaking, A Preface to Colonial American Poetry presents a
critical, analytical survey of Colonial American poetry within the
context of American literature in general. In clear and easy to
understand language, the book chronicles significant events from
the arrival of the first emigrants at the Jamestown colony to the
Declaration of Independence. The poetry of New England, Middle and
South colonies is discussed with its fascinating interplay of
diverse influences. The early settlers had already burned most of
their bridges to the traditional culture behind them when they
sailed for America and yet their writers kept looking back for
inspiration. Author Wisam Khalid brings his modest experience with
foreign students to the formation of this book to help
international students better understand American history and
literature in terms of discovery, foundation, periods and pioneers.
foreign seekers but also native undergraduates who will find
interesting comparative insights into American and English poetry.
