AMERICAN ROMANTICISM!



- "And have I not told you that what you mistake for madness is but over-acuteness of the sense?" - " As to personal endowments, I am by no means deficient. On the contrary, I believe that I am well made, and posses what nine-tenths of the world would call a handsome face." - "Ye who read are still among the living; but I who write shall have long since gone my way into the region of shadows."

Edgar Allan Poe was an American poet, short-story writer, editor, and literary critic, and is considered part of the American Romantic Movement.

Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and invented the detective-fiction genre

Edgar Allen Poe was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on January 19, 1809.

Romanticism is a complex artistic, literary, and intellectual movement that originated in the second half of the 18th century in Western Europe, and gained strength during the Industrial Revolution.

It was partly a revolt against aristocratic social and political norms of the Age of Enlightenment and a reaction against the scientific rationalization of nature, and was embodied most strongly in the visual arts, music, and literature.

The term "Romanticism" has been used to refer to certain artists, poets, writers, musicians, as well as political, philosophical and social thinkers of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
