 United States literature
Early US literature falls into two distinct periods: colonial writing of the 1600s–1770s, largely dominated by the Puritans, and post-Revolutionary literature from the 1780s, when the ideal of US literature developed, and poetry, fiction, and drama began to evolve on national principles.
colonial period (1607–1770s) Literature of this period includes travel books and religious verse, but is mainly theological: Roger Williams (1603–1683), Cotton Mather, and Jonathan Edwards (1703–1758) were typical Puritan writers.
Recent US literature increasingly expresses the cultural pluralism, regional variety, and historical and ethnic range of US life.
