The Puritan Age, typically spanning from the late 16th century to the early 18th century, was characterized by the influence of Puritanism, a religious reform movement within Protestantism that sought to purify the Church of England. This period saw a focus on moral rigor, simplicity in worship, and an emphasis on personal piety and community ethics. In literature, it produced works that reflected these values, including sermons, poetry, and writings that grappled with religious and existential themes. The era significantly shaped American culture and identity, especially in New England.
