Review # 2 was written on 2019-10-05 00:00:00 Scott Steinfeld It maybe an overall significant account of development of literal tendencies in America, but the heavy and obnoxious bias that the author shows towards the colonists put the reader off from treating it as a sincere historical record. During the first two chapters reader encounters an unjustifiable admiration for John Smith whom author himself regards as not-an-artist with his pen and someone probably guilty of fanciful exaggeration. After that we find a series of mind-bending hailing of the colonists, puritans, and almost any name that participates in later American folk as a larger-than-life great hero (which is often a gimmick to justify their racist, genocidal, and opportunistic acts). In the later part, as the Author grows over the intoxication of 'Great and glorious past', there is a significant timeline that informs us how Americans brought a true identity to themselves as a community with a claim of original literature. That part is useful as a guidebook or a timeline. The views, like earlier parts, are again the views of a great apologist and religious admiration to many authors and texts that have achieved a cult status.
