  1. Happy Monday!

  2. Journal Take out your binders and look at the “Processing Puritan Era and Age of Reason” handout from Friday. After reviewing your discussion from Friday, consider the following: If the focus on science and logic during Age of Reason was a reaction to emphasis on religion during the Puritan age, what do you think comes next? In other words, what do you think might be a reaction to the Age of Reason?

  3. Romantic Era

  4. For each of the paintings you see: • Make a T-Chart like the one you see below. Observations Interpretations • Blue sky • Green trees on the left bank of a river • The weather appears peaceful and pleasant

  5. For each of the paintings you see: Just using these two pictures, what conclusions can you draw about the difference between the Age of Reason/Puritan Era and the Romantic Era? Neoclassical/Puritan Era Art Romantic Era Art Thomas Cole, In the Wild Claude Lorraine, Landscape

  6. History • An artistic, literary and intellectual movementUS 1800-1840. • Causes • Reaction to Industrial Revolution • Revolt against the rules, restriction and religious emphasis of the Puritan era/Age of reason • Liberal, progressive movement: focus on individualism, rebellion, freedom • Gives rise to the Transcendentalist movement Excerpt from Dead Poet’s Society “Rip It Up”

  7. Characteristics • Focus on free expression of feelings, ornate (sometimes indulgent)descriptions • Imagination and emotion > reason and formal rules • Industrialization ills of society (and therefore should be stopped) • Nature and natural feelings vs. order and control; idealizes country life • A shift from: • faith in reason faith in senses, feelings and emotions • interest in urban society an interest in the rural and natural • Concern for science  fascination withmystery

  8. Literary style • Emphasizes • Nature • Primitivism/valuing of the common man ie. “nobel savages” in James Fenimore Cooper’s The Last of the Mohicans • Gothic style (subcategory) focused on: • Medieval past • The supernatural, the mystical, the exotic and the horrific, • Edgar Allen Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter • Rejection of rules and order  not all alike

  9. Reading Activities • Reading #1 The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne (Plot overview, excerpt) RA Strategy: Talking to the Text • Reading #2 The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper (Plot overview, excerpt) RA Strategy: Group Read & Chunking the Text • Reading #3 “The Raven” by Edgar Allen Poe (See next slide)

  10. “The Raven” by Edgar Allen Poe Listen to the following dramatic reading by Vincent Price. At your table, discuss the questions below and then write your own responses individually in your notebooks (or on a piece of paper that you can add to your notebooks later if I am grading yours). • Summarize each of the major “sections” of the poem. Explain what is literally happening throughout the poem. • How is this piece of literature, from the “Gothic” genre of Romance writing, different from the other pieces we have read? • Why might this be the period during which literature of this type would flourish?
