Emily Bronte – Wuthering Heights, critics presumed was written by a woman. Not understood by her contemporaries. Controversial issues, such as incest, self-‐starvation, violent love and power.

A female bildungsroman – coming-‐of-‐age story. Beginning of the Victorian Age – rise of the realist movement. In part appeared a reaction to romanticism

The making of a new nation. The Enlightenment in America. The emergence of the notion of the American Dream. The great Enlighteners: Crèvecoeur, Jefferson, Paine, Franklin. The American Enlightenment is the intellectual thriving period in the United States in the midtolate 18th century (17151789), especially as it relates to American Revolution on the one hand and the European Enlightenment on the other.
