The epic poem is composed in blank verse over ten books, and is essentially a Calvinist version of Milton\u00e2\u0080\u0099s <i>Paradise Lost</i>, mimicking it in both form and content. The protagonists of Pollok\u00e2\u0080\u0099s poem are two heavenly beings who were unaware of the happenings in the mortal realm. They visit hell and earth and learn about the history of mankind, the character of humanity, the Creation and the Fall, and the final day of Judgement. The poem dwells on these points through the doctrines of Calvinist ideology like original sin, total depravity, and atonement through God\u00e2\u0080\u0099s grace."}, {"label": "Description", "content": "The Copp Collection contains about 150 books of early American imprint and shows a wide range of reading matter typical of a New England Puritan family living in a port town. Literacy was expected of many New Englanders, as Puritan doctrine required everyone to read the Bible. The abundance of multiple Bibles, psalms, hymnodies, sermons, and morality tales reflects the Copp\u00e2\u0080\u0099s religious beliefs. Other highlights of the library include the works of Shakespeare, almanacs, historical and political texts, and travel narratives."}, {"label": "Description", "content": "The Copp Collection contains a variety of household objects that the Copp family of Connecticut used from around 1700 until the mid-1800s. Part of the Puritan Great Migration from England to Boston, the family eventually made their home in New London County, Connecticut, where their textiles, clothes, utensils, ceramics, books, bibles, and letters provide a vivid picture of daily life. More of the collection from the Division of Home and Community Life can be viewed by searching accession number 28810."}, {"label": "Location", "content": "Currently not on view"}], "creditLine": [{"label": "Credit Line", "content": "Gift of John Brenton Copp"}], "physicalDescription": [{"label": "Measurements", "content": "overall: 3 1/4 in x 5 in x 1 1/4 in; 8.255 cm x 12.7 cm x 3.175 cm"}], "dataSource": [{"label": "Data Source", "content": "National Museum of American History"}], "objectType": [{"label": "Object Name", "content": "book"}]}}, "url": "edanmdm:nmah_1460936", "hash": "004f3f40ff1e2f84747040e24e7545f2da09259b", "docSignature": "4afbcbdb815f517807308f94c7c7ffe5", "timestamp": 1664882627, "lastTimeUpdated": 1664882543, "title": "The Course of Time, A Poem"}
