All the texts are permeated by a strong historical consciousness. Indeed five of the ten writers selected called their writing 'histories'. What we see emerging from the writers is a particular American identity, full of idealism and a strong emotional commitment to ideas, culminating in the Declaration of Independence and the metamorphosis of America from colony to nation. Professor Radzinowicz has written a substantial introduction to the volume in which she provides a history of the thirteen colonies, exploring the social, theological, intellectual and political expectations of the early settlers. This volume will be indispensable reading for students of American literature and history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51943654064416,"sku":"NEW0521286808","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/american-colonial-prose-john-smith-to-thomas-jefferson-cambridge-english-prose-texts-0521286808","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
