Description
William Cullen Bryant (November 3, 1794 - June 12, 1878) was an American romantic poet, journalist, and editor. In 1821 he spent months working on ""The Ages"", a verse poem about the history of civilization and the establishment of the United States and his career as a poet was launched. But writing poetry could not financially sustain a family. He became Assistant Editor of the New York Evening Post and within two years, he was Editor-in-Chief and a part owner. Bryant was an early advocate of American literary nationalism, and his own poetry focusing on nature as a metaphor for truth established a central pattern in the American literary tradition. Mathew Brady Studio, circa 1860-70 (cropped and cleaned).
