Some of these early works reached the level of literature, as in the robust and perhaps truthful account of his adventures by Captain John Smith and the sober, tendentious journalistic histories of John Winthrop and William Bradford in New England.
From the beginning, however, the literature of New England was also directed to the edification and instruction of the colonists themselves, intended to direct them in the ways of the godly.
The connection of American literature with writing in England and Europe was again stressed by William Dean Howells, who was not only an able novelist but an instructor in literary realism to other American writers.

is regarded as a landmark in English-language children’s literature not because it was the first book for children, but because it was one of the first written for children that gave the child heroine and the child reader priority over adults, who, of course, have responded by appropriating the book for their use.
While histories of children’s literature will be available for consultation, the emphasis in this course will be on children’s literature as a subset of all literature and as an index to the society in which it was written, including but not limited to the ideas held about childhood in that culture.

 Wright, Literary Culture in Early New England, 1620-1730. Ch. V
As for religious literature, it is impossible to distinguish between that produced in the colony and in the mother country, partly because so many of the leading divines preached and published their sermons with equal satisfaction to hearers and readers in either country.
In attempting to determine the quality of the literature produced by the people of New England it must not be forgotten that in so far as they were consciously writing, they were writing for their contemporaries, and that, in consequence, it should be judged by their standards.
The really remarkable thing about the literature of New England in its earliest days is that there is as much of it as there is, and that it is as good as it is. There were certainly many things which might have hampered and probably did hamper literary work.

 Wright, Literary Culture in Early New England, 1620-1730. Ch. X
Of course the most important element in the English literature of the time, the dramatic, because of its very nature, could in no way stimulate literary activity where the drama was tabooed.
Group interest in literature as literature, or any mutual encouragement toward the production of literature, is not in evidence until the very end of the period.
The earliest indication of any group interest in literature is found in the literary friendship between Samuel Sewall and Richard Henchman, schoolmaster, which probably began before the year 1700, the first evidence of it being given in Henchman’s poem to Sewall under date of January 1, 1700-1.

In the spring of 1729, he had married his favourite daughter Sophia to the naturalist Henry Baker; in the autumn, he had been taken ill, just as the opening pages of The Complete English Gentleman were going through the press.
In August, 1730, he was writing from Kent to his son-in-law Baker a letter full of complaints about his own bad health, his sufferings at the hands of a wicked enemy and his betrayal by one of his sons.
It seems likely that he had transferred some property to his eldest son, Daniel, on condition that the latter would provide for his mother and her unmarried daughters, but that the shifty son of a shifty father had not lived up to his obligations.

 A. Wolfgang, Gender and Voice in the French Novel, 1730–1782
The author argues that writing in a female voice allowed writers of both sexes to break with classical notions of literature and style, so that they could create a modern sensibility that appealed to a larger reading public, and gave them scope to innovate with style and form.
Wolfgang brings to light how the 'female voice' in literature came to embody the language of sociability, but also allowed writers to explore the domain of inter-subjectivity, while creating new bonds between writers and the reading public.
Through examination of Marivaux's La Vie de Marianne, Graffigny's Lettres d'une Péruvienne, Riccoboni's Lettres de Mistriss Fanni Butlerd, and Laclos's Les Liaisons dangereuses, she shows that in France, this modern 'feminine' sensibility turned the least prestigious of literary genres – the novel – into the most compelling and innovative literary form of the eighteenth century.
