Your first answer might have something to do with flowers, chocolates, or a fantasy suite on The Bachelor. In the context of literature, however, Romantic (with a capital R) has a much wider meaning. In general, Romantic literature is emotional, imaginative, and interested in beauty. We see these themes in romantic literature across cultures. Our goal here is to zoom in on the romantic literature of one specific culture: American Romanticism.
The Romantic Movement was the first major literary movement in a very young America, spanning from 1820-1860, when American identity was still very much a work in progress. Deciphering this identity and creating specifically American values was a major part of the project for American Romantic writers. The movement was definitely influenced by the British Romantics, but it brought a varied set of characteristics to the Romantic genre, which would mark this movement as uniquely American
