Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book stands as a precious literary archaeology and is a unique insight into the earliest stirrings of American literature and the artistic endeavors of the time, as evidenced by the volume of poems within. The collection, discovered at the Boston Athenaeum and believed to be the only surviving copy, holds the distinction of being the first collection of poems ever printed in Virginia. Thought to be the work of either a native Englishman who returned to his home country after spending time in Virginia, or a Virginian who had attended Oxford and returned to his native land, the poems reveal the author's vast learning and literary influences. This significant volume offers a rare glimpse into early 18th century American thought and culture, not only as it pertains to literary themes but also for its broader historical context. Scholars and casual readers alike will find value in the text, which showcases prevailing attitudes towards love, life, and religion, particularly in contrast to similar works from the northern and middle colonies. The author's bold and untrammeled style, evident in his praise of Shakespeare and appreciation for the beauty of the natural world, makes this a significant work in the development of a unique American voice. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
