Answer:

1) It was the first captivity narrative in Puritan literature

Step-by-step explanation:

Mary Rowlandson was a pilgrim American lady who was caught amid an assault by Native Americans amid King Philip's War and held payment for 11 weeks and 5 days. Subsequent to being discharged, she composed A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson, otherwise called The Sovereignty and Goodness of God. It is a work in the literary genre of imprisonment stories.
