1) The role of religion played a major role in early American literature. Many different authors form a variety of time period's incorporate religious ideas and philosophies into their writings. A few authors from different time periods that did this were Johnathan Edwards, Anne Bradstreet, and Henry David Thoreau. 
<span>Anne Bradstreet was a Puritan. Much like all the other Puritans of her time she examined her conscience daily and that they always felt that they were humbled by God's creations and powers. One poem in which she expresses her religion's ideas and philosophies was "Contemplations". </span>
<span>This poem was about very religious. In this poem she talks about her admiration of God and how she and all humans are humbled by God's creations. She says, "The higher on the glistening sun I gazed. Whose beams was shaded by the leafy tree; The more I looked, the ore I grew amazed, and softly said, 'What glory like to thee?' Soul of this world, this universe's eye, No wonder some made thee a deity; had I not better known, alas, the same had I". This quote means that a tree because of its beauty amazes her. Also, she is saying that the thing responsible for creating such a thing must just as beautiful if not the most beautiful on the earth.

The United States was largely settled by people who were looking for religious freedom that they could not enjoy in Europe. Many of the early settlers were defined by their religious beliefs, and groups such as Quakers, Puritans and Catholics were some of the first European inhabitants of the region. Therefore, it is not surprising that religion played a big role in their literature.

Religious disputes were an important topic, as demonstrated by authors such as John Winthrop. Separatists writings were also popular, as these strengthen the people's hope for a utopic land. An example of this is "A modell of Christian charity" by Winthrop. Another important genre was that of Puritan writing, and in this, Anne Bradstreet was particularly significant. Bradstreet wrote poetry that described the life of Puritans, but also discussed the beliefs of the Puritan communities. All of these works help us learn more about the way of life of these early settlers.
