Discussion Topic:
As American colonists questioned British rule,
public discussion focused on topics such as
colonial independence and individual rights. In
turn, literature from the American Revolutionary
period often reflected important political and
social themes, including national independence,
personal liberty, and individualism. In your
opinion, how does the literature of this period
influence future generations of American
literature? Where have you seen traces of these
themes and how were they presented in the
other literature you read?
