| Around American literature, the U.s. Renaissance was a mid-19th century, and especially a period of time about from either 1850 to 1855, during which numerous of the works virtually all widely considered Western masterpieces were produced. These involved Melville's Moby-Dick, Whitman's first edition of Leaves of Grass, Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter and The House of the Seven Gables, Thoreau's Walden, and Emerson's Representative Men (though most of Emerson's right-known texts preceded a time slightly). A time was forename & critically discussed by F.O. Matthiessen in his 1941 book American Renaissance: Art and Expression in the Age of Emerson and Whitman. It continues as a central term around American studies. | |
