The time period of 1820-1865 was filled with fantastic authors and can also be known as a time in literature in which writers take a leap forward. This is very true because this time period includes the likes of Hawthorne, Poe, Emerson etc. These authors were able to bring more class to what literature was before them. We remember these writers and all of the good they had written but as we look back to the time period, females and African-Americans are discredited in their writing. In fact, it took until around 1970 for scholars to acknowledge what these writers with less fortune were able to do.
This time period was able to build off what had come before it and created cornerstones for writers even today.
