Wonderful. As a life-long New Englander this is close to home. As though I walked down the street in a town in which I had lived for decades into a museum or historic homestead that I, to my shame, had never visited and discovered some flashes of detail that altered my vision of the landscape to which I had become so accustomed.

I gathered main information about topic you mentioned briefly here it’s first of all definition of Puritans they were English Protestant Christian active in 16 and 17 th centuries , they use Geneva bible . Today they called Presbyterians and United church of Christ . Puritan poetry is literary movement by Puritans that reached it peak in 17 th century, its focused on guiding others to follow word of god and uphold bible . Even Shakespeare malvollo is even said to have been a life Puritan named William knolls, who was first earl of ban bury. King Henry v 111 who strarted Puritanism in 1530s . American Puritanism, which puritan’s believe if they honor god their colony would be blessed, if they failed to honor god , their colony would be punished. Puritan style plain poetry contains three elements short words , references to every day objects , direct / striaght forward statements. First Puritan figure in American literature is Ann Bradstreet by Edmund , h, garret .
