The American Dream Revisited: Marginalized Perspectives in Early American Selected Texts
This study examines the profound impact of the American Revolutionary War on the literary landscape of the era, revealing that themes of isolation, rebelliousness, democracy, loss, and death became defining characteristics of the literature. Through the analysis of a few selected literary texts and drawing on existing research, this study aims to explore the impacts of the war on the literature and contribute to the current understanding of the period's literary heritage, providing evidence of how the war's tumultuous events shaped the creative expression of writers and influenced the broader literary canon. This study uses a directed qualitative content analysis approach, following the framework proposed by Hseih and Shannon, (2005). The study highlights the themes of the selected post-revolutionary war literature and proves that the literature is always affected by the scenario.
