Mailei and Tre Literary Periods.

The colonial period was a more religious genre focused on daily life and politics, while the romanticism period was more emotional, imaginative, and based on individualism. The historical context of the colonial period was all about Christianity and Puritan values. The historical context of the romanticism period was about the Industrial Revolution and civil war.

The characteristics of transcendentalism are spiritualism, individualism, gothic, pain, evil, gloom, mystery, and true reality.

The historical context affects the periods by creating common general emotions and questioning towards what happening during that time.
