| Özet: | This study of William Bradford’s History of Plymouth Plantation points to the relation between the process of historical writing and the shaping of a prospective memory of the founding of the Plymouth colony.

As one of the most iconic texts from the colonial period, Bradford’s History has strongly contributed to the representations of the “Pilgrim Fathers”, not only through retrospective readings but also through its author’s shaping of a prospective memory. |
