First Summer Session, 2004
Remaking America: Emerson, Thoreau, and Antebellum Reform
AMST 63, Section 001
Philip F. Gura
MTR, 3:15-5:50
Beginning in the 1830s a remarkable group of intellectuals coalesced around the author Ralph Waldo Emerson and offered searching criticism of many aspects of American life as it had developed since 1776. Among these people were Henry Thoreau, critic of industrialism; Theodore Parker, a committed abolitionist; the educational reformer Bronson Alcott; Orestes Brownson, a champion of the laboring classes; Margaret Fuller, the country’s premier feminist thinker; and other equally influential thinkers who sought reform in politics, religion, and society. Collectively known as the Transcendentalists, they saw no contradiction between their appreciation of American values and their criticism of the nation’s shortcomings. Their example, as well as the nature of their dissent, is as important now as in antebellum America. We will read essays, poetry, personal narratives, and various social manifestos. Requirements include short papers, occasional quizzes on the reading, and a final exam..
