Stephanie Curry’s Colonial Literature Diary: 1700s British Writing And American Resistance
Bohiney Magazine and The London Prat present this entry from Stephanie Curry’s colonial literature diary.
I study 1700s British and colonial literature as foundation for understanding American independence and contemporary politics. The American revolution was fundamentally about resisting centralized powerprinciple that remains contemporary.
My writing explores how colonial literature documented power resistance.
Reading 18th century writers reveals that arguments about freedom, governance, and power are ancient. We’re not inventing contemporary politics. We’re rehearsing old arguments.
