Romanticism and American Romanticism -- Nathaniel Hawthorne as an American Romantic
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses romanticism in literature that is best personified in the works of English and some other European writers and poets of the period roughly encompassing 1775 to 1837. Wordsworth, Keats, Shelley, Malthus, and Austen are examples of the English tradition of Romanticism that immediately come to mind while one is likely to think of Coleridge, Hawthorne, and (to some degree) Thoreau and Emerson, when thinking of the American tradition of romanticism. There are certainly similarities, if for no other reason than the time frame in which the writing took place, between the traditions. But as with most aspects of a literary style, the nation in which it is conceived (logically) changes the context in which it is presented. Nathaniel Hawthorne is used as an example of American romanticism. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Rousseau, Jefferson, Paine & The Enlightenment
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page research paper that discusses these eighteenth century authors. During the eighteenth century, trends in politics, society and religion culminated in the philosophical movement known simply as the Enlightenment, which drew its name from the era’s emphasis on reason and rationality (Brians). Enlightenment philosophers subscribed to the belief that “the perfect society could be built on common sense and tolerance” (Brians). Examination of the writing of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine demonstrates the Enlightenment’s emphasis on reason and the idealistic concepts that this encompassed. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Rowlandson & Dances With Wolves
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay/research paper that compares Mary Rowlandson’s seventeenth century captivity narrative to the 1990 film Dances with Wolves. On February 20, 1676, a band of Narragansett Indians attacked the home of Mary Rowlandson as part of an uprising known as King Philip’s War (Wesley 42). Rowlandson and three of her children were taken captive. Rowlandson’s account of her captivity, which lasted eleven weeks, is extremely revealing as to the mindset of Puritan settlers during this period. This narrative is vastly different from the story portrayed in the 1990 film “Dances With Wolves” (directed by Kevin Costner for Orion Pictures). Nevertheless, there are similarities between the two works in that both Rowlandson and the film’s protagonist, John J. Dunbar, both undergo a transformation, that is, a change in their worldview, due to their experiences among Native Americans. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
