内容简介

1927. Part One of Three. The Colonial Mind covers the period from 1620 to 1800. Contains: The theme stated; party played by European intellectual movements; influence in colonial America of old-world liberalisms-English Independency, French romantic theory; incoming of a diverse philosophy-English laissez faire; significance of theology and politics in colonial America. A wonderful account of the genesis and development in American letters of certain germinal ideas that have come to be reckoned traditionally American-how they came into being here, how they were opposed, and what influence they have exerted in determining the form and scope of our ideals and institutions.
