Which early nineteenth-century writer’s work sounds most interesting to you? Why? What, about the author or the things in his or her writings, seem to attract your attention?

What will be an ideal response?

ANSWER
Consider these criteria for making a choice: author’s experiences; author’s orientation toward reason or intuition as a way of knowing truth; author’s optimism about the future; author’s criticism or celebration of America and American values; author’s view of and participation in social reform; author’s ability to tell a story, shape a character, develop a theme, etc.
