The origins of American literature The first Americans were explorers and settlers, adventurers and idealists who crossed the ocean in search of new opportunities or to escape the poverty and intolerance. Their writings were matter-of-fact accounts of life in America, which explained colonisation to Englishmen back in the homeland. An example of this form of writing is John Smith's A True Relation of Virginia, which is widely recognized to be the first example of Am lit. The early years of colonisation produced a mass of utilitarian writings including biographies, accounts of voyages, diaries, sermons, pamphlets. Much of the material addressed the problems of Church and State. There were few examples of fiction, poetry or drama. Anne Bradstreet of Massachusetts published some lyrical poems of high literary quality (1650) and Edward Taylor, who was born in England but lived in Boston, wrote some poetry in the style of John Donne and the metaphysical poets.

It is considered as the earliest of the great constitutional documents and mapped the limits of royal and baronial authority more precisely than ever before. Magna Carte became a part of the common law. In later centuries it came to be regarded as a document fundamental to the protection of individual liberty. *Henry III and Westminister Abbey Westminster Abbey was rebuilt by King Henry III in the new Gothic style, invented in northern France. Henry spent a lot of of his own money on the project. No other medieval monarch ever spent as much on a single church as Henry did at Westminster. The French churches inspired Henry to rebuild Westminster Abbey, as a way of rivalling the king of France and restoring the prestige of the English monarchy. He also built it to honour St Edward the Confessor and for his own tomb as well.
9 The Houses of Parliament - The Palace of Westminster, also known as the Houses of Parliament or Westminster Palace, is the meeting place of the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom--the House of Lords and the House of Commons. It lies on the north bank of the River Thames[note 1] in the heart of the London borough of the City of Westminster, close to the historic Westminster Abbey and the government buildings of Whitehall and Downing Street. The name may refer to either of two structures: the Old Palace, a medieval building complex most of which was destroyed in 1834, and its replacement New Palace that stands today; it has retained its original style and status as a royal residence for ceremonial purposes. The Palace is one of the centres of political life in the United Kingdom; "Westminster" has become a metonym for the UK Parliament, and the Westminster system of
