American Literature 10/8-10/11

Write 3-4 sentences on what Romanticism in American Literature is.

Choose one author from our upcoming unit, Unit 6. Research the writer's life and explain two facts about their life or beliefs that help us understand their work.

You may use a reliable encyclopedia, library resource, or other credible reference. Record the source you used.

Then, answer in one developed paragraph:

Romanticism values emotion, imagination, nature, and individual experience. Which of these can help us appreciate God's creation and human experience? Where might these values become misleading if they are treated as the highest authority? Support your answer with at least one biblical principle or Scripture reference.
