Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of The Wall Street Journal's 10 best books of 2021 One of Air Mail's 10 best books of 2021 Winner of the Peter J. Gomes Memorial Book Prize In the year of the nation’s bicentennial, Robert A. Gross published The Minutemen and Their World, a paradigm-shaping study of Concord, Massachusetts, during the American Revolution. It won the prestigious Bancroft Prize and became a perennial bestseller. Forty years later, in this highly anticipated work, Gross returns to Concord and explores the meaning of an equally crucial moment in the American story: the rise of Transcendentalism. The Transcendentalists and Their World offers a fresh view of the thinkers whose outsize impact on philosophy and literature would spread from tiny Concord to all corners of the earth. Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and the Alcotts called this New England town home, and Thoreau drew on its life extensively in his classic Walden. But Concord from the 1820s through the 1840s was no pastoral place fit for poets and philosophers. The Transcendentalists and their neighbors lived through a transformative epoch of American life. A place of two thousand–plus souls in the antebellum era, Concord was a community in ferment, whose small, ordered society founded by Puritans and defended by Minutemen was dramatically unsettled through the expansive forces of capitalism and democracy and tightly integrated into the wider world. These changes challenged a world of inherited institutions and involuntary associations with a new premium on autonomy and choice. They exposed people to cosmopolitan currents of thought and endowed them with unparalleled opportunities. They fostered uncertainties, raised new hopes, stirred dreams of perfection, and created an audience for new ideas of individual freedom and democratic equality deeply resonant today. The Transcendentalists and Their World is both an intimate journey into the life of a community and a searching cultural study of major American writers as they plumbed the depths of the universe for spiritual truths and surveyed the rapidly changing contours of their own neighborhoods. It shows us familiar figures in American literature alongside their neighbors at every level of the social order, and it reveals how this common life in Concord entered powerfully into their works. No American community of the nineteenth century has been recovered so richly and with so acute an awareness of its place in the larger American story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transcendentalism in New England: A History As a form of mental philosophy Transcendentalism may have had its day; at any rate, it is no longer in the ascendant, and at present is manifestly on the de cline, being suppressed by the philosophy of experience, which, under-xdifferent names, is taking possession of the speculative world. But neither has this considera tion weight in deciding its value as an element in pro gress. An unsound system requires as accurate a description and as severe an analysis as a sound one and no speculative prejudice should interfere with the most candid acknowledgment of its importance.

Download or read book Selected Writings of the American Transcendentalists written by George Hochfield and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transcendentalism was the name given to the New England movement of the 1830s and 1840s that brought together Romanticism in literature and social reform in politics. Its partisans argued for the rights of women, the abolition of slavery, and, in some cases, the socialization of labor and equal distribution of profits. They were America’s first avant-garde. This volume presents substantial selections from the writings of key American Transcendentalists, such as George Ripley, Margaret Fuller, Orestes Brownson, Theodore Parker, and Bronson Alcott. Included are sermons and diary entries, essays on labor, religion, education, and literature, on German metaphysics and Coleridge’s philosophy of mind. Many are expressive of the movement’s over-arching project: to define the innermost meanings of democracy--the nature of man, his place in the world, and his relation to the divine. First published in 1966, the book has been updated and expanded for this edition.
Download or read book A Journey Into Ireland s Literary Revival written by R. Todd Felton and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2010-07 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 1890s until the 1920s, a great tide of literary invention swept Ireland. As the country struggled for political independence, the writers who formed the Irish Literary Revival created a new, authentically Irish literature. Some, such as W. B. Yeats, John Synge, and Lady Gregory, celebrated the mystical tradition of Ireland's west; others, such as Sean O'Casey, explored Dublin's crowded streets and tenements. This fascinating, revealing, and beautiful book examines the relationship between these writers and the towns and countryside that fueled their imaginations. Part history, part biography, and part travel guide, A Journey into Ireland's Literary Revival takes the reader to Galway, the Aran Islands, Mayo, Sligo, Wicklow, and Dublin. Along the route, it visits the cottages and castles, crags and glens, theaters and pubs where some of the country's finest writers shaped an enduring vision of Ireland.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transcendentalism in New England: A Lecture Delivered Before the Society for Philosophical Enquiry, Washington, D. C., May 7, 1895 I AM asked to speak to you of Transcendentalism in New England. The phrase is a misnomer; out of New England, Transcendentalism had no practical existence. In Germany it belonged to the scholars, and never affected popular life. It began to do this in New England a hundred years before The Critique of Pure Reason was printed, and independently of the causes which brought that philosophical classic into existence.

Download or read book Studies in New England Transcendentalism Classic Reprint written by Harold Clarke Goddard and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in New England Transcendentalism Since the scope and purpose of this study are stated at some length in the introductory chapter, it will here be sufficient, perhaps, to call attention to the fact that, as its title indicates, the essay makes no pretence of being a history of New England transcendentalism. Such a history would necessarily be a far more ambitious undertaking than the present work, which is restricted to a consideration of a few definitely selected questions. The discussion of these points, moreover, is even further narrowed by being carried on with reference, in the main, to the so-called leaders of the movement. The reasons for these limitations are given in the introduction, where, also, the emphasis placed on Dr. Channing and the comparative neglect of Thoreau - features of the treatment which at first sight may cause surprise - are fully explained. Perhaps the only other comment that is needed is the observation that the term "Platonism," especially in the concluding chapter, is used in a very elastic and untechnical sense, and where a man is spoken of as a Platonist it is not necessarily implied that he embraced in detail the philosophy of Plato. This essay was submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Columbia University, and the author takes this opportunity of expressing to the faculty of the English Department at Columbia his gratitude for their valuable assistance - to Professor Brander Matthews, Professor G. R. Carpenter, Professor A. H. Thorndike, and, above all, to Professor W. P. Trent, at whose suggestion the study was undertaken and under whose supervision it was written. To Professor Trent's generous help and to his wide knowledge of American literature, any merits which the book may have are, in no inconsiderable measure, due; the author alone is responsible for its shortcomings.

Download or read book Essential Transcendentalists written by Richard G. Geldard and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2005-10-06 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest abounds in the work of the Transcendentalists, such as Emerson, Thoreau, and Bronson Alcott. Each year, tens of thousands of readers rediscover Transcendental thought in books and articles, and in visits to historic sites, such as Walden Pond. But few appreciate the truly mystical and contemplative qualities of the Transcendentalists, and the spiritual movements and figures they have since inspired. As Richard G. Geldard-one of today's leading scholars of Emerson-illustrates in The Essential Transcendentalists, Transcendentalism adds up to a school of practical spiritual philosophy that aims to guide the individual toward inner development, much like that of Stoicism in Western antiquity. This current of New England mysticism has influenced modern-day luminaries as diverse as essayist Annie Dillard and Ernest Holmes, founder of the worldwide Religious Science movement. Through revealing commentary, historical overview, and selections from classic works, The Essential Transcendentalists provides a distinctive and heretofore neglected examination of the spiritual breadth and depth of "Yankee mysticism."
