Abstract

Romanticism in America coincided with the period of national expansion and the emergence of a distinctive American voice triggering the American Renaissance. It was exactly when many American writers were able to express Americans’ new expressions such as imaginative expression over emotion and individual, defense of individual potential and individual freedom as they were rarely vocalized during the former era.The upcoming idea of egalitarianism which is based on the American Liberalism urged Afro-American writers to spread out the spirit of freedom and egalitarianism. They describe several stories about living as a slave. Frederick Douglas has a leading role in the abolishment of slavery in the history of America with his masterpiece Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. That is why the researchers want to find out the spirit of the Romanticism by proving how the social background had taken a part in creating well-known narratives.Using the Sociology of Literature approach, this research is assumed to give effect on shaping the meaning of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, where his work expresses liberalism in the period of Romanticism and could also be used to characterize the Romanticism. That is why literary discussion can not be separated from the issue when and where a work was written. The question when the literature was written is only a part of the discussion about this period including the remarks of the work and the question where it is associated with the society or sociological background where the work was created.Insecure feeling is one main feature of the Romanticism found in Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. Douglass actualizes the correlation of song and slavery where song is depicted as an escape from the insecure feeling as experienced by slaves. The first objective is to show that when a slave is feeling insecure in his surroundings, then he will try to cheer himself up by singing and will become romantic, too. The second one is the strong spirit of the Romanticism thoroughly found in Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass that is the spirit of Liberalism – almost all his narratives express his greatest dream of abolishing slavery trademark of his own. Meanwhile, the sociological background reflected in revolutionary movement took place in Douglass’ surroundings and he accidentally experienced it himself. Then, he made his words to set the slaves free and slavery must be abolished for goodness.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to see the morals taught in the novel Little Women by American white writer Louisa May Alcott. Through these morals, it also aims to study the roots of these morals as part of social values as well as the society of mid-19th century mirrored in the novel.Since the emphasis is on the cultural study, the research is done in the perspective of American Studies. In this case, historical, sociological and cultural approaches are, inevitably, used besides literary approach. All the data used in this research are written text, library research methodology is applied. Books, journals, and many written materials, including internet-based materials, are treated as secondary data, while the novel itself is considered as the primary one. There are three steps in this library research, namely, collecting data, selecting data, and analyzing data. The other method used in this research is analytical-descriptive method, by which all the data obtained are analyzed and presented descriptively. The research shows that American socio-cultural situation in the mid-19th century is basic environment and driving force for the characters’ love, emotion as well as behavior. Its writer Louisa May Alcott arranges the novel structure and preaches proper morals also in accordance with that. A detailed analysis of the American culture here includes its social reform thinking — transcendentalism, literary traditions, women’s social status in the time, and the religious origins behind these values. These cultural heritages reflected in Little Women point out the room for further research on this topic.

Abstract

The article discusses transendentalism and inidvidualism as reflected from an essay “Self Reliance” written by Emmerson in 1841. In the American history, the writer is a big thinker with a dominant role in the development of intellectuality and spirituality. While reforming the religious system of American society that ignoring an intuition, his thought also indirectly inspires the concept of separation between state and church. With an interdisciplinary approach, it is found out that transendetalism of Emerson is a resistance to the morals of Christianity. It is also proved that the Individualism Emerson emphasized is caused by the condition of American society that had not shown their identity as a nation with freedom in all aspects of life.
