Description:In this study, Professor Connors evaluates Thomas Morton's place among the authors of seventeenth-century New England, and measures his influence upon American writers of more recent times. The information presented in the New English Canaan is compared with statements made by William Bradford, John Smith, William Wood, and other early reporters; Morton's intentions as a writer are examined; the ideas, language, and form of his book are considered; and the legend of the May Lord in nineteenth- and twentieth-century American literature is explored. Prominent among those poets and romancers who contributed to the cycle of stories which revolve around Morton of Merry Mount are Washington Irving, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Robert Lowell. Professor Connors's account of Morton and his book throws new light upon the American scene and upon Renaissance structures in early Colonial literature.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
