Description:American literary historians have viewed Ralph Waldo EmersonOCOs resignation from the Unitarian ministry in 1832 in favor of a literary career as emblematic of a main current in American literature. That current is directed toward the possession of a self that is independent and fundamentally opposed to the OC accoutrements of society and civilizationOCO and expresses a Transcendentalist antipathy toward all institutionalized forms of religious observance.In the ongoing revision of American literary history, this traditional reading of the supposed anti-institutionalism of the Transcendentalists has been duly detailed and continually supported. Richard A. Grusin challenges both traditional and revisionist interpretations with detailed contextual studies of the hermeneutics of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Theodore Parker. Informed by the past two decades of critical theory, Grusin examines the influence of the higher criticism of the BibleOCowhich focuses on authorship, date, place of origin, circumstances of composition, and the historical credibility of biblical writingsOCoon these writers. The author argues that the Transcendentalist appeal to the authority of the OC selfOCO is not an appeal to a source of authority independent of institutions, but to an authority fundamentally innate."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
