1. three central beliefs of romanticism are its view of nature as a source of truth, the importance of the individual over society and social institutions, and the disregard for rules and authority. how do the poems of emily dickinson and walt whitman display these beliefs in general? give a specific example from one of the poet’s poems for each trait.

The poems of both Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman were two important American poets who wrote about many of the subjects that are often found in Romantic literature.

An example of this in Dickinson's poetry is her poem "Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church." In this poem, Dickinson highlights the importance of nature by claiming that nature gives her more of an spiritual nourishment than church. She also disregards rules and authority by choosing to stay in her garden, as opposed to going to church.

An example of these values in the poetry of Walt Whitman is that of "Song of Myself." In this poem, Whitman highlights the importance and uniqueness of each individual being, and how this should be placed higher than society. Moreover, he also highlights the importance of nature by uniting his identity with that of the natural world.
