Answer:

Answer 1

Romanticism uses the imagination, emotion, and the individual over reason, science, and society; Romantics look to nature as a source for spiritual nourishment, and they believe that people are inherently good but corrupted by society. "This Is My Letter To The World" Emily Dickinson writing with general imagination and emotion typical of a Romantic writer "The simpleBews that Nature told," I think what she is saying is that her writings come from the spiritual inspiration of nature and that she doesn't want to be judged harshly for how she lived away from the world even though because the people of the world never did anything for her.
