In this episode we dive into the golden age of American literature; a time of important shifts and literary innovation between 1850 and 1900. At this point, the United States was a young nation with less that 100 years of history bursting with contradictions and wrestling with questions of identity, democracy and individualism. It was a perfect setting for someone to write about it, and boy, did the writers that we talk about in this episode rise to the occasion.
