1 Romanticism Era By: Jessica Chen Erin Edwards Xochilt Herrera
William Wordsworth By: Jessica Chen Erin Edwards Xochilt Herrera Herman Melville Edgar Ellen Poe William Blake

2 American Romanticism Darker Aesthetic
Talked about history and religion Singled itself out from English romanticism Wasn't really appreciated during the time because of its darker and more mysterious writing than the "light" literature during that time

3 Herman Melville Author of "Moby Dick"
Very into hidden meanings and symbols Expressed history, mythology, and religion Known to be very dark for its expression of madness, power, and the pure nature of being human Died a failed writer since the type of literature he used wasn't fully appreciated until after his time.

4 Edgar Allen Poe Inventor of crime fiction in American poetry
Explored a strange side of human nature Fascinated by grotesque and "strange beauty" Sing-song rhythm poems "Eldorado" Six-line stanzas, or sestet Inescapable worldliness of his poems

5 Nathaniel Hawthorne Author of " The Scarlet Letter"
Showed a deep sense of history, seemed to be before his time Includes the power of suggestion and imagination Replicates a supernatural, even grotesque nature Leaves a sense of the unknown for the reader, and sometimes even the protagonist (Young Goodman Brown) 7/20/2018

6 English Romanticism Influenced by the end of the 18th century
Connected with medievalism and mythology Emphasized on emotion and individuals rather than society Appreciation of grotesque and strange beauty 7/20/2018

7 Romanticism vs Enlightenment
Romanticism would “ rebel” against the ideals of Enlightenment. There was a downgrading of reasoning in Romanticism, as a way to go against Enlightenment thinking. Specifically with Alexander Popes’ work, Wordsworth would go against the Enlightenment traditions of poetry. Romanticism focused on individualism and emotion; whereas, Enlightenment focused on symmetry and harmony. Enlightenment thinkers believed everything surrounded science. Romantics opposed and based everything off of intuition. 7/20/2018

8 William Wordsworth Launched the Romantic Age with his work Lyrical Ballads Used nature as a dominant theme Known for the awareness of the relation between living things and objects Showed past, present, and future as mixed in the human consciousness Inspired by the Renaissance and Greek and Latin epic poetry 7/20/2018
