The American Romanticism began from the end of 18th century to the outbreak of the Civil War,which is also called the American Renaissance.The period is as well as the time of American Westward Expansion.During the period,there were lots of workforces crowding to the cities,which promoted the industry.The people found that they need their-own literature to record their experiences.So the Romanticism flourished(繁荣).
The Romanticism in American literature focuses on imagination and emotional factors.The American writers paid more attentions to the free expression of feelings and the characters'inner world.During the romantic period,there were many writers:Philip Freneau,William Cullen Bryant and so on.
The Realism in American literature was from 1865to 1914,and it takes on the American spirit,especially in American stories.The Realism against the Romanticism,advocates the people to come down to the earth and get rid of daydreams.
During the 50 years from the Civil War to the WWI,the America had experienced a great change on many aspects,such as the politics,economy,culture and religion.It had changed the nature and the idea of the American society.The writers of new age didn't agree with the Romanticism of the old age.They were interested in real life and wanted to explain everything relating to the real life,which is to claim the objective reality,to get rid of idealism and Romanticism.
