Selected Romantic poets:  Walt Whitman (Long Island N.Y., 1819- New Yersey, 1892) I am enamour'd of growing out-doors,
Of men that live among cattle or taste of the ocean or woods,
Of the builders and steerers of ships and the wielders of axes and
mauls, and the drivers of horses,
I can eat and sleep with them week in and week out… |

GEORGE SAND (Paris, 1804- Nohant, 1876) But Romanticism was also a time for novelists: Pushkin, Dumas (father and son), Goethe… and for women. Mary Shelley wrote her “Frankenstein”, Charlotte Brontë “Wuthering Heights”, Emily Brontë “Jane Eyre”, Harriet E. Beecher Stowe “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”, … In France, George Sand represents the romantic spirit and Jacques Chirac honoured her in the 200th anniversary of her birth:“(She) incarnates the French spirit in all of its grandeur, did not cease to aspire to these values of liberty, equality, and fraternity that are the foundation of our country. |

Selected Romantic poets: Edgar Allan Poe (Boston, 1809- Baltimore, 1849) And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore! |

Zhang Huaming Abstract
This paper accounts for the American romanticism and its difference with its European counterpart. Romanticism was rebellious in spirit, standing in reaction against the neoclassical spirit and then prevailing in American literary life. The romantic period, which stretches from the end of the18thcentury, through the end of the Civil War, is one of the most important periods in the history of American literature. The romantic showed a profound admiration and love for nature, the beauty and perfection of nature could produce in him an unspeakable joy and exaltation. |
