Abstract

Romanticism as a scholarly term is inherently ambiguous. Yet a study dealing with certain American cultural traits during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries cannot afford not to allude to romantic concepts. J. Hector St. John de Crevecoeur, Joel Barlow and Thomas Odiorne did not consider themselves "romantics"; the use of the term as a scholarly device is relatively recent. One can, however, perceive the germs of much of American romanticism in selected of their works.
