I am writing a research paper about how events in history affected what Longfellow wrote about. I'm almost positive that it was American Romanticism but I can't seem to find much information on it from a reputable site. From the research I have conducted, I have figured out kinda what it is but I have to use some of his works as examples of how this time in history played a role in his writings. My teacher suggested "A Psalm of Life", "The Wreck of the Hesperus", and "The Village Blacksmith". I have "Evangeline" in my possession along with many of his other works. If I had a better understanding of the historical time with valid sources to put in my paper, I'm sure that the examples would be easier to find. Any suggestions or help you may have would be appreciated :]
