| 1676 | New Englands Crisis; or A Brief Narrative, of New Englands Lamentable Estate at Present.... and New-Englands Tears for Her Present Miseries. Tompson, the first known native-born New England poet, provides in New Englands Crisis a satirical treatment in heroic couplets of King Philip's War and its causes--moral and spiritual decline. It is the first imaginative account of war in America. It is incorporated in the longer work New-Englands Tears for Her Present Miseries. |
