SEDGWICK'S LITERARY CONTEMPORARIES
Sedgwick, Irving, Bryant, and Cooper were called, in the nineteenth century, the four "founders" of American literature--apparently defined at the time as works set in America, written by those born there. Hawthorne thought very highly of Sedgwick's writing. Kirkland was a close friend and fellow writer.
