In 1779, on attempting to return to France, he was imprisoned in New York City as a spy. When released, he went to England, sold his Letters for thirty guineaJohn Neal of Portland carried the fight into the enemy's camp by contributing to Blackwood's magazine from 1823 until 1826. After Dwight's death his Travels in New England and New York were published, four substantial volumes, representing vacation journeys which he had taken for reasons of health from 1796 on. They are full of exact information on every conceivable subject — on the prevailing winds, on the excellencies of the colonists of New England, their enterprise and industry, their love of science and learning, their love of liberty, their morality, their piety, on the superiority of soil and climate, etc. But the serious vein was not the only one fo

L., The Beginnings of American Dramatic Literature in The New England magazine, Feb., 1894, New Series, vol. IX., No. 6, p. 674. of New York, but as he was an Englishman, the interest in his work is limited to its representation of local conditions. Androborus was not acted, and had no influence in the developreference to the Tripoli pirates. In his dramatization of historical American life in The Indian Princess (1808), probably the first dramatic version of the Pocahontas story, and Superstition (1824), whose motif was the witchcraft delusion in New England, Barker represents the American playwright working with native material. Even in Marmion (1812) he put in King James's mouth a ringing speech which, while seeming to apply to Scottish conditions, actually reflected the feeling of America towa

With some spice of wit Timothy Dwight and John Trumbull collaborated in an imitation of The Spectator in 1769-70, and between 1785 and 1800 nearly a hundred series of light periodical essays were contributed to various New England journals. Ellis. H. M., Joseph Dennie and his circle, p. 51. Those of the better sort like the Neighbour of The Massachusetts spy or the Metabasist in The Farmer's journal of Danbury, Connecticut, when not discussing politics, filled their bille for The Farmer's Museum, but his inclination for belles lettres soon yielded to a maturer passion for writing political leaders and commentaries on the Apocalypse. Only the hardiest political writings could survive the frost of piety in New England. Literary essays in the South were almost neglected in the general enthusiasm for forensic and pulpit oratory, or when written, reflected the formal style of public speeches. The most persistent essayist was William Wirt (1772-1834), who c

gland and the later residence in Spain, but he never permitted himself to put the plan to one side. As soon as the sales of the new Putnam edition of the earlier works and of the later volumes that he had been able to add to these freed him from financial care, he began the collection of material for the great history. He had already travelled over much of the country with which the career of his hero was connected. He knew by the observations of an intelligent traveller the regions of New England, New Jersey, Western Pennsylvania, and Virginia, while with the territory of New York he had from his youth been familiar. The Hudson River, which had heretofore served as the pathway for Irving's dreams of romance, was now to be studied historically as the scene of some of the most critical of the campaigns of the Revolution. Since the date of Irving's work, later historians have had the advantage of fuller material, particularly that secured from the correspondence in the homes of Rev

Thompson had already set outposts before Hawthornean (1825) and The down-easters (1833), however, which promise at first to be real pictures of New England life and character, soon run amuck into raving melodrama.
