Download or read book Writers of the American Renaissance written by Denise Knight and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2003-12-30 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American literary canon has undergone revision and expansion in recent years, and our notions of the 19th-century renaissance have been reevaluated. Mainstream anthologies have been revised to reflect the expanding literary canon, yet resources for readers have remained widely scattered. This book expands earlier definitions of the 19th-century American Renaissance as represented by canonical writers such as Emerson and Poe, covering writers who published popular fiction and dominated the literary marketplace of the day. Included is generous coverage of women writers and writers of color. The volume provides alphabetically arranged entries for more than 70 writers of the period, including Louisa May Alcott, Emily Dickinson, Frederick Douglass, Margaret Fuller, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, and many more. Each entry was written by an expert contributor and includes a brief biography, a discussion of major works and themes, a survey of the writer's critical reception, and primary and secondary bibliographies.

Download or read book Sylvester Judd s New England written by Richard D. Hathaway and published by Penn State University Press. This book was released on 1981 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sylvester Judd (1813-53) is presented here as a representative figure whose life and works illustrate the intellectual and religious tensions of Emerson's day. A convert from Congregationalism to Unitarianism, Judd flirted next with transcendentalism, touching on most points in the New England compass during his intellectual and spiritual odyssey. How did a youth from a backwater Massachusetts village reach the point where Margaret Fuller called his Margaret "this one 'Yankee novel'" and Lowell hailed it as "the first Yankee book with the soul of Down East in't"? Born in Westhampton, "where carpets, pianos, art works, Unitarians, and novels were regarded as not only unnecessary but downright unwelcome," Judd became a Unitarian and arrived at the Harvard Divinity School in time to hear Emerson deliver his "American Scholar" address. Although he could not accept fully the Emersonian heresy, he became a friend of Jones Very, the transcendentalist poet. As a Unitarian minister in Augusta, Maine, for the last thirteen years of his brief life, Judd preached against the "moral evils" of war, slavery, and sectarian strife. He also married the richest girl in town, daughter of a U.S. Senator, and his father-in-law defended Judd's right to espouse unpopular social causes. Judd committed the greater indiscretion, even for a Unitarian divine, of publishing novels and poems. One novel, Margaret, was attacked by Genteel critics as "vulgar" but was championed by Lowell, Margaret Fuller, and Theodore Parker for its vigor and its use of back-country vocabulary. Margaret "combines the real with the ideal in a homely way," verging on the pantheism of ultra-transcendentalists but clinging to the certainties of Christianity, children, and chickens.

Download or read book Political Sermons of the American Founding Era 1730 1805 written by Ellis Sandoz and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early political culture of the American republic was deeply influenced by the religious consciousness of the New England preachers. Indeed, it was often through the political sermon—the "pulpit of the American Revolution"—that the political rhetoric of the period was formed, refined, and transmitted. And yet the centrality of religious concerns in the lives of eighteenth-century Americans is largely neglected. This has created a blind spot regarding the fundamental acts of the American founding. Political sermons such as the fifty-five collected in this volume are unique to America, both in kind and in significance. This volume thus fills an important need if the American founding period is to be adequately understood.
