In at least one hundred words, explain how rowlandson's the narrative of the captivity and restoration of mrs. mary rowlandson upheld the puritan literature tradition.

"A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson" is a literary work written by American author Mary Rowlandson that was first published on 1682. It became one of the first bestsellers in America, with more than 4 editions of the book on its first year of being released.

"A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson" narrates the story of when Mrs Rowlandson was held as a prisoner after the settlement where she lived in Massachusetts was attacked by Native Americans.

The story is a relevant piece for American literature because Rowlansdon became the first writer who also was a woman and a puritan. Although it was a common  activity for puritan women to keep a diary with their daily activities, it was not normal for these to be published for everyone to read. Rowlandson's work was approved to be publicly displayed, even within her conservative community, because it was a recollection of an English woman being held as a hostage under the hands of Native Americans. It reinforced the message that Puritan literature tradition wanted to spread. This message was based mainly on the idea that God was always protecting and overlooking those who were believers, and  the story of Rowlandson ends up with her gaining her freedom and thanking God for it.
