Though well-educated, as a woman in the patriarchal Puritan society her role was restricted to the domestic sphere.

Victorian and Romantic periods of english literature
The Victorian period formally begins in 1837 (the year Victoria became Queen) and ends in 1901 (the year of her death). As a matter of expediency, these dates are sometimes modified slightly. 1830 is usually considered the end of the Romantic period in Britain, and thus makes a convenient starting date for Victorianism. Similarly, since Queen Victoria’s death occurred so soon in the beginning of a new century, the end of the previous century provides a useful closing date for the period. The nature of Romanticism
As a term to cover the most distinctive writers who flourished in the last years of the 18th century and the first decades of the 19th, “Romantic” is indispensable but also a little misleading: there was no self-styled “Romantic movement” at the time, and the great writers of the period did not call themselves Romantics. Not until August Wilhelm von Schlegel’s Vienna lectures of 1808–09 was a clear distinction established between the “organic,” “plastic” qualities of Romantic art and the “mechanical” character of Classicism.

He spent much of his later life in Italy before dying in Venice in 1972 at the age of 87.
The american renaissance
The American Renaissance was a literary period in the United States from 1830 to 1865. It was a time of cultural, religious, political, and geographic changes following the nation's independence. Writers began exploring new topics beyond religion and politics, influenced by the development of a distinct American culture. This period saw the rise of Dark Romanticism, which featured a darker, more pessimistic style, and Transcendentalism, an optimistic philosophy that emphasized finding the divine in nature and people. Famous authors of this time included Emily Dickinson, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Walt Whitman.
