Art and Literature of the 19th Century

After a week hiatus, the blog is BACK! Here are some things to think about:

• Notes on Nathaniel Hawthorne and "Anti-Transcendentalism"
• "Minister's Black Veil"- Story and Questions

As we wrap-up this first unit consider this: How has the literature we have read thus far help define the American Character? What qualities of the Deerslayer, the philosophy of Emerson and Thoreau, and Hawthorne's dark tale make up that elusive "American Identity"?

We will end this unit on a group project. Remember going over How to Analyze Art and How to Analyze Poetry? That was the pre-cursor to the "Art and Literature of the 19th Century Small Group Project." Here is a list of artists and writers.
