Yes!
Yes, "Self-Reliance" by Ralph Waldo Emerson is considered an example of American Romanticism. It embodies key themes of individualism, self-expression, intuition, and nature that are central to the Romantic movement in America. Emerson's emphasis on nonconformity and independence align with the Romantic belief in the importance of individual freedom and spiritual exploration.
Yes!
Yes, an example would be something like: "Romanticism was a style or movement in literature or art." (And that's a fact! :D)
"Song of Myself" by Walt Whitman is considered a quintessential example of American Romanticism due to its celebration of individualism, nature, and the connection between the self and the universe. The poem's free verse style and emphasis on personal experience and emotions are characteristic of Romantic literature. Whitman's exploration of the self, spirituality, and the natural world exemplifies the Romantic belief in the power of the imagination and the transcendent potential of the individual.
Delacroix: 'Liberty Leading the People', 1830, is probably the most famous example.
Realism! For an example see Courbet's The Stone Breakers.
Romanticism is the movement that emphasized individuality in both art and politics, and influenced early American literature. Romanticism was not only a literary movement, but a broad artistic, social and philosophical movement. It encompassed the spirit of Europe in the latter half of the 18th century, and its influence is still felt today. The Romantic poet Lord Byron, for example, had a deep influence on philosophers like Nietzsche, whose philosophical writings in turn helped shape the beliefs of mainland Europeans in the 19th and 20th centuries. Important early American writers such as Washington Irving and Edgar Allan Poe were deeply influenced by Romanticism, and the Transcendentalist movement, which emerged around the mid 19th century, mirrors many of Romanticism's sympathies.

Examples of this are "Ivanhoe", "Idylls of the King", Goethe's "Faust", Grimm's "Fairy Tales", etc. So be happy peoples :P
Dark Romanticism is a subcategory of Romanticism, which focuses on emotion, imagination, individualism, intuition, and nature. What makes it Dark Romanticism is that the emotions are dark and unpleasant. Imagination rustles in paranoia or terror. Individualism is from isolation and alienation. Intuition is unreliable and untrustworthy (such as the unreliable narrator in Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart"). Nature is cruel, tense, and frightening (as seen in Jack London's "To Build a Fire"). In short, Dark Romanticism is a genre of literature that paints mankind as evil and pitiful, while the world is something to be feared.
An example of American Exceptionalism is FREEDOM.
Romanticism (Twain is a good example), and Transcendentalism are types that celebrate beauty. While art of the early 20th century focused on the beautiful, and sublime, literature had begun to reach the advent of realism; see Main Street, Babbitt, Sister Carrie, The Jungle.
i don't really know names... but, i do know the romantic literature was populaar in the early 1800s, and it focused on the greatness/liveliness of nature, etc. so if you think of the story Rip Van Winkle, that is definitely romantic writing. if you're thinking more like gothic romanticism, a perfect example is The Devil and Tom Walker.
