Part of our focus this week is on the works and authors of the American Renaissance. We look at how culture, politics, and religion influenced the writings of the period. We also discuss the Transcendentalist movement’s influence on American literature and culture and identify the role that poetry played in the American Renaissance.
How did the period’s culture, politics, and religion shape the American Renaissance? What role did Transcendentalism play in the American Renaissance? What was the special role of poetry in the American Renaissance?
Thanks.
Steve
