dc.description | The early 19th century provided a environment condusive to the emergence of a literature based upon American ideals and experience, yet of an artistic quality to equal or surpass English models. The three highest profile writers associated with this period were Washington Irving, William Cullen Bryant, and James Fenimore Cooper. These writers were for the most part romatics who found inspiration in the beauties of nature and in escape from reality to faraway places, in legends of the past, and in the bizarre or unusual. Their writings often glorified the common man and expressed a belief in the individual. | |
