Question

How did American literature and arts begin to change in the mid-1800s?

Answer 1

Answer:

In the mid-1800s, American literature and arts began to change as authors and artists began to depict American life rather than classical European subjects.

In the mid-1800s, America began to develop its own literature leading to the American Renaissance. During this period, there were calls from literary nationalists who sought for a movement that would develop a unique American literary style which would differentiate American literature from British literature.
