Romanticism in Oh Captain My Captain and When I Heard the Learned Astronomer by Whitman and To a Waterfall and Yellow Violets by William Cullen Bryant
When I think of the word romance, I always envision the stereotypical fancy candlelit dinner with the mood music quietly playing in the background as a couple, dressed to the nines, sit, engulfed in their own little bubble of bliss. Sometimes I think of the balcony scene of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliets the two young lovers profess their undying affections for each other.

American Themes Phillis Wheatley in James Fenimore Cooper’s Pioneers and Its Connection to the Works of Other Writers
The American themes in Cooper's writing have both to do with the country itself, and some core ideas established by writers such as Benjamin Franklin. I believe the main theme of Pioneers to be that America arose quickly because of hard work. Cooper writes mostly about how America was previously, and at the time of writing, largely untamed wilderness; Cooper wrote, "only forty years have passed since this whole territory was a wilderness”. It was because of dedication and perseverance…...
