The American Romantic Period.

Contemporary to Bryant, Longfellow, Emerson, Lowell. Reviewed Hawthorne's early work enthusiastically. Before Melville. Walt Whitman knew him from the copy room as a boy. In the thick of things just after the period of the British Romantics, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, Moore and in praise of Tennyson, Dickens, Elizabbeth Barrett- whom he reviewed.
A good way to get a flavor of this interplay is to read Poe's own many articles at www.eapoe.org.
