Chapter 14, Section 2 Pages

Great changes were taking place in American culture. The early 1800s brought a revolution in American thought. Artists, writers, and philosophers pursued their ideals and developed truly American styles.

Some New England writers and philosophers found spiritual wisdom in transcendentalism – a belief that people could transcend, or rise above, material things in life. Transcendentalists also believed that people should depend on themselves and their own insights, rather than on outside authorities. Important transcendentalists included Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller, and Henry David Thoreau.

Emerson was a popular writer and thinker who argued that Americans should disregard institutions and follow their own beliefs. Thoreau advised even stronger self-reliance and simple living away from society in natural settings. Many transcendentalists experimented with utopian communities – groups of people who tried to form a perfect society

Ideas about the simple life and nature also inspired painters and writers in the early and mid-1800s. Some joined the Romantic movement that had begun in Europe. Romanticism involve a great interest in nature, an emphasis on individual expression, and a rejection of many established rules.

Romantic painters and writers felt that each person had a unique view to the world. They believed in using emotion to guide their creative output. Painters used their work to show the beauty and wonder of nature in the American landscape. Writers created stories that were based on emotional involvement.

Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote The Scarlet Letter, one of the greatest classics of Romantic literature – it explored Puritan life in the 1600s. Herman Melville wrote Moby Dick – considered to be one the greatest American novels ever written. Edgar Allan Poe is well known for writing his short stories and poems such as “The Raven.”
