Puritanism in John Winthrop "A model of Christian Charity"

FLRG.01.193 Heidi Järvpõld 01.01.2015 Puritanism in A model of Christian Charity A modell of Christian charity, also known as A City on a Hill, is the kind of Puritan literature example that can fade the suspicious reader’s doubts in the Puritan main ideology and beliefs. At least, this is how it seemed to me. This sermon can be seen as a gateway to the Puritan society’s attitude and mindset as it is one of the most classical examples of the Puritan era literature. Although John Winthrop was the leader of the Massachusetts Bay Colony which was filled with corrupted chiefs, he vigorously emphasizes in his writings the unity of

The Origins of American Literature

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. All 17 th cent Am writings were, both in content and form, similar to English lit of the same period. The great literary figures of the 18th cent were Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), Thomas Paine (1737-1809) and Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826). The common sense and witty aphorisms of Franklin's popular Poor Richard's Almanac series appealed to colonial readers. Franklin also wrote effectively on the question of allegiance to the British crown but it was his protégé, Thomas Paine, who inspired colonists during the dark days of the Revolution with his stirring pamphlet

US History: Native Americans and the first settlements

They feared venturing further south because winter was fast approaching. The Pilgrims had an important question to answer before they set ashore. Since they were not landing within the jurisdiction of the Virginia Company, they had no Charter to govern them. Mayflower Compact In the landmark Mayflower Compact of 1620, the Pilgrims decided that they would rule themselves, based on majority rule of the townsmen. This independent attitude set up a tradition of self-rule that would later lead to town meetings and elected legislatures in New England. Without good harbors or extensive tracts of fertile land, however, Plymouth became a colony of subsistence farming on small private holdings once the original communal labor system was ended in 1623.

English literature from the Baroque to the Romanticism

In the context of the Caroline era, the sermon was perhaps comparable to the theatre, in terms of the attention it received from the public. The most important poet whose creation carried heavy themes of piety was George Herbert. His poetry is considered to be the monument to “beauty of holiness”, that practice of the liturgy with good order and ritual which was the essence of the king’s religious policy and the object of loathing by his Puritan opponents. Herbert gives praise to the things that the Puritans wished to do away with. For example, he emphasizes the importance of ritual, the mystery of the sacraments offering praise to the angels and so forth. Although the churches had fallen into disrepair by the 1620s, the state of the church as a holy place was resumed eventually by the movement which put importance on this aspect of “beauty of holiness”
