The American Renaissance, a literary movement in the mid-19th century, reflected a growing sense of national identity and cultural confidence in the United States. Literature from this period focused on themes of individualism, nature, and the pursuit of freedom and social justice. Writers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Walt Whitman played key roles in shaping this literary era.
