How did American Writers express the unique spirit of the nation?

During the 1800’s, while moving away from the European traditional themes, American Writers sought their own styles that were deeply rooted in the American Experience. Yet many authors around the globe looked at American Writers as: A nation of “Newspaper Scribblers”

Washington Irving Rip Van Winkle –Man who falls asleep and wakes up 100 years later. –Time Period: Revolution War The Legend of Sleepy Hollow –School teacher who falls for a lady, but runs into the headless horseman. (Colonial Time Period) –Was the first American Writer to be enjoy fame in Europe.

James Fenimore Cooper Deerslayer –Battle for control of the lake; while Chingachgook's tries to rescue his betrothed from a band of roving Iroquois. The Last of the Mohicans –Native Americans formed alliances with the competing European forces.

Nathaniel Hawthorne The Scarlet Letter –Guilt and redemption in pre-Revolutionary Massachusetts provides vivid insight into the social and religious forces that shaped early America.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow “ Listen my children and you shall hear Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, On the eighteenth of April in Seventy-five; Hardly a man is now alive Who remembers that famous day and year”

Ralph Waldo Emerson Importance of the individual “Inner light” to guide their lives

Henry David Thoreau Growth of Industry was destroying the Nation. Fierce Abolitionist. Conductor on the Underground Railroad.

How did American Writers express the unique spirit of the nation? * Amusing to the reader. * Gives the reader a sense of the richness in their American past. * Idealized the relationship between colonists and Native Americans. * Showed the good and evil in their society.
