Jacksonville State University English American Romanticism Question

 

I’m working on a english multi-part question and need an explanation to help me study.

Topic One: Throughout this unit, we have discussed the concepts and characteristics of the American Romantic literary movement. Define American Romanticism in your own words, noting specific characteristics of this genre. Then, choose the two authors from this unit that you feel best exemplify this style of writing and direct us to specific places in their works where the characteristics of Romanticism are most evident. Finally, explain how you see the characteristics of this movement in contemporary mediums, such as books, television or movies; be sure to give specific examples of this.
