Puritanism As A Literary Force is a non-fiction book written by the renowned American journalist and critic, H. L. Mencken. Published in 1920, the book explores the impact of Puritanism on American literature and culture. Mencken argues that the strict religious beliefs and moral codes of Puritanism have had a profound influence on American literature, shaping the themes, style, and language of many great works of fiction and non-fiction. In the book, Mencken provides a detailed analysis of the Puritan movement and its evolution in America, tracing its origins back to the 16th century in England. He examines the works of Puritan writers such as John Milton, Jonathan Edwards, and Cotton Mather, and discusses their contributions to American literature. Mencken also explores the influence of Puritanism on other literary movements such as Romanticism and Realism.The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of Puritanism and its literary impact. Mencken's writing style is engaging and witty, and he provides a unique perspective on the role of religion in American literature. Overall, Puritanism As A Literary Force is an insightful and thought-provoking book that sheds light on an important aspect of American literary history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of American literature and culture.THIS 92 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: A Book of Prefaces, by H. L. Mencken.
