//** (the music begins around 11 seconds) media type="custom" key="4503472" **// What is **Romanticism**? I, media type="custom" key="4490990", am here to guide you through your course of the American Romanticism movement. Many great writers, trends, music, literature, and colorful thinking concepts came from this era, which was, from the late 18th to the mid 19th century.

Prominent Writers were shaped during this period to be imaginative, to contrast traditional thoughts, to stress emotions,and to follow instincts. Anything to rebel against the structural era of my childhood. I began life in Litchfield, Connecticut in June of 1811 as the daughter of the religious leader, Lyman Beecher. I started shaping my defiant mind from watching my father preach against the pro-slavery riots of Cincinnati of 1834. This led me to write my novel media type="custom" key="4503938" about life as an African-American slave. My novel, published in 1852, centralized on an african-american named Uncle Tom and his struggles as a slave. //Uncle Tom's Cabin// was a best-selling novel of the 19th century because it focused on the immortality of slavery, helping to awaken sympathy inside the readers, which was very uncommon before the Romantic period, especially sympathy for a slave.

I grew up in a very structural society. Poets wrote about the winter and writer's wrote about the crimes so when this new thought of an artistic and philisophical movement came out in the open, it was unheard of and questioned by people who stood by structure. Famous poets and writers decided to expand on this "nature" theme and were with me to help influence young curiosities.
