American Romanticism In Action

Welcome to our blog! We have created this venue to discuss major U.S. authors in the literary period known as American Romanticism and to put the knowledge generated from our undergraduate academic seminar at East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania to work. American Romanticism "in action" depends on a single premise (which is perhaps a romantic one): when we lend our voices to the authors of the past--through reading, thinking about, discussing, and writing about texts--we intervene in history and make the past and present alive. These authors' words live as vividly today for readers as they did for readers in the past.
