Electronic Texts in American Studies

This intriguing document is a political 4th of July “discourse” by an African American New England Congregational ordained minister and Revolutionary War veteran from the very early years of the Republic. Lemuel Haynes’ personal history is an interesting story, as is his assessment of the progress, needs, and future prospects of the new nation. Ostensibly and formally, the discourse is about selecting leadership dedicated to serving the public welfare and avoiding men who seek office for personal preferment, power, or fame. Taking a text from the gospel of Luke, Haynes applies the advice of Jesus to his disciples to the …

Atala, François Auguste René De Chateaubriand, Keith Lewis Simmons, Kline

Early Visions Bucket

"Atala was a milestone in French romanticism, the origin of a globally successful, enduring romantic male archetype. Along with its twin, Rene, this once-famous novella is set in the American Southeast and is part of a longer, semi-autobiographical epic called Les Natchez. Chateaubriand had never visited the United States, but read some early accounts, and the region in which the events take place, mostly northern Florida, is a fantastic projection of exotic ideals."

[Verse 1, English]
Our pathway strewn with palm leaves and sweet flowers,
Sweetning the air on this great day of feasting,
Jesus comes forward and dries all our tears,
And prepares us for our journey home,
Let all his people sing in praise,
United voices sweetly singing to Him above,
Hosanna! Glory to God!
Blessed is He who preserves us for all time!

Sont ripandus dans ce grand jour de fete,
Jesus s’avance, il vient secher now pleus,
Deja la foule a l’aclamer s’apprete,
Peuples chantz, chantez, en choeur, …
