This research paper: A 3 page research paper that analyzes Francis Parkman's text La Salle and the Discovery of the Great West was originally published in 1869, a time in literary history that is characterized as the "Romantic" era, which refers to the fact that artists, writers, and musicians were reacting to the over emphasis on rationality that had been characteristic of the preceding century. Examination of Parkman's account shows that, while this is a scholarly work--with copious footnotes and references-- it nevertheless is written in a romantic style that is designed to engage the emotions of the reader, as well as the intellect. Parkman does this through idealizing La Salle's character, giving him mythic proportions as a hero, and also through his romantic view of the processes involved in exploration, which is presented as a tremendous, romanticized adventure. No additional sources cited.
