Abstract

The quill pen and the printing press were two means of composing available to early American authors. They have different qualities; the pen is a more romantic and stylized, while the press is a practical and efficient industrial tool for the spread of knowledge. However, both the pen and the press must write with ink. These tools make great emblems for two early American writers: anne bradstreet(1612-62), and benjamin franklin(1706-90), respectively. It would be challenging to find authors with less common matter; bradstreet and franklin come from distinct backgrounds and centuries, espouse different philosophies, and wrote in different genres. However, their rhetorical minds used similar circuitous tactics of argument stemming from a common classical tradition
