Question

Describe how Revolution-era literature differed from the literature produced by the Puritans.

Answer 1

The Puritans focused on religion and personal experiences in their writings, while the writers of the Revolution era put more emphasis on reason and logic.

Answer 2

Revolution literature revolved more around spreading enlightenment ideas (such as human rights, government power, etc.). Puritan literature was meant to make people (religious or not) open their eyes to the world of sin and to make God more important in your everyday life and make God more understandable.
