AMERIČKI REVOLUCIONARNI RAT IZ PERA MERSI OTIS VOREN
AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY WAR FROM THE PEN OF MERCY OTIS WARREN

Summary/Abstract: The second half of the eighteenth century and the American War for Independence represent an extremely important period, not only because of the historical context and the birth of a new nation, but because of its relevance to the literary history of America. This period records a huge literary output of patriot authors devoted to the struggle for independence, the celebration of the American nation, glorification of prominent individuals in the revolutionary struggle, but also anti-revolutionary inspired works that called for loyalty to the UK. American drama writers took an active part in the American revolutionary struggle, and this paper will analyze the text and context of the war from the patriot's perspective through the works of one of the first female dramatists in America, Mercy Otis Warren.
