The Colonial period is the correct answer. At first American literature was naturally a colonial literature, by authors who were Englishmen and who thought and wrote as such. John Smith, a soldier of fortune, is credited with initiating American literature. His chief books included A True Relation of ... Virginia ... (1608) and The Generall Historie of Virginia, New England, and the Summer Isles (1624)
