Bryant and Longfellow belonged to the New England poets who represented the elite educated society in New England. They were conventional, wealthy, highly cultured, interested in the advanced European art forms in literature, and they also had strong sense of morality. They set the tone for Victorian culture in America. These poets were also called the Fireside Poets or Schoolroom Poets because during the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century these were the most popular poets for teachers to talk about in class with their grade school and high school students. Their pictures were often placed on the walls in classrooms of the schools.;New England Poets (II) ? New England poets represented the ideals of the genteel 19th century culture, and their poems represented the morality which the culture admired. They wrote about what was unique to America, Americas legends, Americas past and contemporary events in American life. But they were conservative and imitative, using European literary forms and polite literary language to talk about what was natively American. They insisted on traditional meters, stanza forms, stereotyped metaphors and superficial symbolism. They tried to make their poetry sound like the poetry of England. During the time after the Revolutionary War, many American artists were trying to find the way to be distinctly American, but these fireside poets or schoolroom poets answered the problem in their own way.;Irvings First Book ?
