First of all, you need to know what a compound and a complex sentence is.
A compound sentence (as in your example), is a sentence that contains at least two independent clauses. In your example, there are two independent clauses: 1. Harry drew near the fire + AND + 2. he nearly singed his jacket.
A complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. So we just need to make one of these independent clauses into a dependent one in order to create a complex sentence:
When Harry drew near the fire, he nearly singed his jacket.

Which literary movement began after the early american and colonial period
BARSIC [14]

In the post-war period, Thomas Jefferson's United States Declaration of Independence, his influence on the United States Constitution, his autobiography, the Notes on the State of Virginia, and his many letters solidify his spot as one of the most talented early American writers. The Federalist essays by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay presented a significant historical discussion of American government organization and republican values. Fisher Ames, James Otis, and Patrick Henry are also valued for their political writings and orations.

Much of the early literature of the new nation struggled to find a uniquely American voice in existing literary genre, and this tendency was also reflected in novels. European forms and styles were often transferred to new locales and critics often saw them as inferior.
