William Cullen Bryant听(1794 鈥�1878) was an American听romantic poet, journalist, and long-time editor of the liberal newspaper the New York Evening Post. Bryant was a major force behind the idea that became听Central Park, as well as a leading proponent of creating the听Metropolitan Museum of Art. He was one of a group of founders of听New York Medical College. As a writer, Bryant was an early advocate of American literary nationalism, and his own poetry focusing on nature as a metaphor for truth established a central pattern in the American literary tradition. Between the appearance of his major poem, 鈥淭hanatopsis鈥� in 1817, and his death 61 years later, Bryant knew and corresponded with an extraordinary number of eminent men and women of the 19th century.
