 Colonial America, 1607-1783: Literature   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Still, Colonial America did produce an impressive body of literature, much of it in the form of nonfiction prose, such as autobiography and sermon.
Because of the nature of their endeavor, for example, Captain John Smith and other chroniclers of settlement in the 17th century often addressed the subjects of will and work, the relationship between humans and nature, and the differences between European and Native American cultures.
In its emphasis on human potential and reason, much of this literature reflects the prevailing sentiments of its era, often called the Enlightenment or the Age of Reason.

 Colonial America, 1607-1783: Literature
Between the official end of the Revolutionary War against England in 1783 and the end of the Civil War in 1865, American literature grew up.
An early milestone in the history of a truly American literature came in 1819, when Washington Irving published the first installments of The Sketch Book, a collection of essays and stories, including "Rip Van Winkle" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." A year later, fellow New Yorker James Fenimore Cooper published his first novel.
The presidency of Andrew Jackson is associated with a growth in democratic sentiment in America.

 Amazing Science
Sanskrit was the classical literary language of the Indian Hindus and Panini is considered the founder of the language and literature.
It is interesting to note that the word "Sanskrit" means "complete" or "perfect" and it was thought of as the divine language, or language of the gods.
An indirect consequence of Panini's efforts to increase the linguistic facility of Sanskrit soon became apparent in the character of scientific and mathematical literature.
