Summary "Choice Specimens of American Literature, and Literary Reader" by Prof. Benj. N. Martin is a comprehensive collection of selected works from significant American writers, compiled in the late 19th century. This anthology is organized into various categories like religious writings, historical accounts, and literary compositions, providing a glimpse into the rich tapestry of American literature and the evolution of its themes over time. The opening of this literary reader sets the stage for a curated exploration of pivotal American authors and their contributions, highlighting writers from the 17th and 18th centuries, such as Roger Williams, Jonathan Edwards, and Benjamin Franklin. It begins with an emphasis on the importance of religious freedom and moral philosophy, offering excerpts that delve into themes of liberty, governance, and faith. Through these selections, the text introduces readers to foundational thoughts and attitudes that shaped early American society, presenting a varied yet coherent view of the landscape of American thought and literature as it emerged during this formative period.
