Question

what makes puritan literature different from other american literature

Answer 1

Puritan literature involves more biblical allusions in comparison to American literature. This is different, at least from early American literature, which focused more on the themes of individualism.

Answer 2

In addition to what my colleague said Puritan literature also embraces the reformation ideas of less orientation and more hard work. You will notice less time is given to what characters are wearing and that there is more of a focus on the working man rather than the leisure class.
