IntroductionAs you will soon find out, American Literature is divided into Literary Time Periods based on the time in history, themes, purpose, and style of writing. Many of the literary periods mirror larger literary periods that were occurring in Europe, but American Literature also branches off into its own unique styles. Each literary period occurred as a reaction against the previous movement, and as a reaction to what was happening in the country at that time.
