A New Vision for a New Nation Industrialism causes explosive growth in cities, leading to overpopulation, illness, crime, corruption Rationalist worldview of Revolutionary Period seen as dry, cold The countryside serves as an ESCAPE from the harshness of city Search for the spiritual - God - in NATURE Valued feeling and INTUITION over logic and reason

Progression of Thought in Developing America Colonial -religious -strict -conformity Revolutionary -reason -morality -independence Romantic -nature -escape -imagination

The Five I’s of Romanticism Inspiration Nature as divine inspiration – Finding God in Nature Idealism The world only truly exists in your mind – IDEAS vs. reality –you create reality Imagination Respect for the creative and original thought – NON-conformity Intuition Value FEELING and emotion over logic and reason Individuality Power and potential of the individual – self-reliance

Two Brands of Romanticism: Transcendental and Gothic (aka Anti-Transcendental) Nature is healing Optimistic Positive potential of the mind Self-reliance Reflective Essays Poetry Gothic Nature can be destructive Melancholy Darkness of the mind Guilt, frustration Fiction Novels Fiction Short Stories

A Dream Within a Dream, by Edgar Allan Poe I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep - while I weep! O God! can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? O God! can I not save One from the pitiless wave? Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream? Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream.

A Dream Within a Dream, by Edgar Allan Poe Using Poe’s “A Dream Within a Dream,” think about and discuss the following with a group of your peers: Is this an example of Romanticism? Why or why not?

Why or why not? Look carefully at the poem. Point out any poetry techniques that you notice (i.e. types of rhyme, rhyme scheme, figures of speech, etc)
