Changes and Influences of Art, Literature, and Music in the Early 1800s Characterized by creating a national identity, focusing on things that were truly American - remember: Era of Good Feelings! (though much of their influence was still European!)
Art Begins to focus on the people and geography that was unique to the United States/ North America
Hudson River School The most well known and thematic movement of the time, depicting the power and wonder of Nature! Many different artists, with standard elements of: Mountains Trees Sky Shadow Water
The Garden of Eden, 1828 Thomas Cole Mountains Trees Sky Shadow Water

A Gorge in the Mountains (Kauterskill Clove), 1862 Sanford Robinson Gifford Mountains Trees Sky Shadow Water
The Hunter s Return, 1845 Thomas Cole Mountains Trees Sky Shadow Water
Non- HRS works Not all painters of the time were of the Hudson River School influence. Portrait painting and life worksevents of daily American lifewere also common, as well as studies of the Natives.

Harriet Beecher Stowe Uncle Tom s Cabin - Novel that dramatically shows the evils of slavery. Massive success brought attention to the debate over slavery.
Poetry Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: Paul Revere s Ride and Song of Hiawatha Walt Whitman: Leaves of Grass; Song of Myself Emily Dickinson: Over 1,800 poems published after her death (but none before) John Greenleaf Whittier/ Francis Watkins Harper: Wrote poems about the evils of slavery
Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five: Hardly a man is now alive Who remembers that famous day and year. So through the night rode Paul Revere; And so through the night went his cry of alarm To every Middlesex village and farm,-- A cry of defiance, and not of fear, A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door, And a word that shall echo forevermore! For, borne on the night-wind of the Past, Through all our history, to the last, In the hour of darkness and peril and need, The people will waken and listen to hear The hurrying hoof-beats of that steed, And the midnight message of Paul Revere. Poetry
Music As with the two previous categories, changing musical expressions begin with new adaptations of old songs, and evolve into styles of their own
Music Old European tunes were played in the North for social events such as cotillions In the South, these social events evolve to grand dance such as hoe downs and square dances
Music New/ evolved instruments are created: the banjo New styles and songs: Oh! Susanna by Stephen Foster (1848) considered one of the most popular American songs of the day, and of all time (lyrics largely nonsense & largely racial underscores)
