Abstract	As young as American Literature is, it has been found necessary to divide it into five periods, namely: First Colonial Period (1620-1689); Second Colonial Period (1689-1763); Revolutionary (1763 -1815); First National Period (1815 -1863). Though by courtesy called Literature, the first attempts at writing by our forefathers cannot properly be classed as polite literature (Belles Lettres) from the very fact that the exigencies of the time and the danger from savages and the wild beasts constantly threatening would not allow any sustained attempts at literary work. American Literature, consequently does not begin until 1819, when Washington Irving published his remarkable work, "The Sketch Book".
