American Literary Periods

How is the Colonial Period different from the Romantic Period? What are some characteristics of Transcendentalism? How did the Historical Context affect these Literary Periods?


The colonial period was centered more around religion and the romantic period broke away from that. The colonial periods had personal narratives and the romantic period has slave narratives. Romantic period was more expressive adn based on emotion and reasoning. Magazines, newspapers, and book publishing affected the historical context of the romantic period and predestination affected the colonial period.
