Америку освоили англичане, ее языком стал английский, и литература уходила корнями в английскую литературную традицию. Ныне американская литература повсеместно признана как литература самобытно национальная.

Наиболее ранние сочинения, появившиеся в колониальный период, – это главным образом дневники, религиозные трактаты и исторические очерки. Первые такие работы вышли в Новой Англии. Весьма способный и прекрасно владевший слогом капитан Д.Смит (1579–1631) излил любовь к своей новой родине в Истинном повествовании о достопримечательных событиях в Виргинии со времени основания сей колонии(1608), самом раннем описании английского поселения в Новом Свете, принадлежащем очевидцу. Но более всего Смит памятен повествованием о том, как его вызволила из индейского плена дочь вождя Покахонтас.
