Revolutionary period literature
momentous struggle for independence upon
which the American colonies had entered.
Fiery speeches, able arguments set forth in
newspapers and in pamphlets, sharp and bitter
satire.
From the beginning of the conflict to the end,
there was a copious flow of verse which
sprang naturally enough from the turbulence of
popular excitement and emotion.
