Which оf the fоllоwing eаrly Americаn аuthors penned her narrative about being taken as a hostage by Native Americans? The publication of her captivity narrative earned the colonist an important place in the history of American literature. Her work is among the most frequently cited examples of a captivity narrative and is often viewed as an archetypal model. This important American literary genre functioned as a source of information for eighteenth- and nineteenth-century writers James Fenimore Cooper, Ann Bleecker, John Williams, and James Seaver in their portrayals of colonial history. Because of her encounter with her Indian captors, her narrative is also interesting for its treatment of intercultural contact. Finally, in its use of autobiography, Biblical typology, and similarity to the "Jeremiad," her narrative offers valuable insight into the Puritan mind.
