Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 3,0, RWTH Aachen University, language: English, abstract: The Transcendentalism was not an undisputable movement. It had numerous different influences and strong and sometimes even radical beliefs which did not only evoke sympathy and understanding. Especially Ralph Waldo Emerson, on of the most important person of this movement, was critized for his ideas.1 Some contemporary artists, like Edgar Allan Poe, even had cravings to murder some Transcendentalists2 - although this statement probably has to be seen in regard to Poe's common irony. Poe and other authors used their work to express their distaste for Transcendentalism and tried to ridicule it, for example by exaggeration.3In this term paper, I will answer the following question: What are the typical elements of Transcendentalism in Emerson's Poetry and how are they ridiculed by Edgar Allan Poe To answer this question, I chose Emerson's poem 'Give All To Love'. In my analysis of the poem, I will show that it contains a lot of typical elements of Transcendentalism, which is the reason why I chose this particular poem of Emerson. The work of Poe I will use is his short-story 'The Fall of the House of Usher'. There are several works of Poe where he tries to ridicule Transcendentalism, but I chose this short-story since it is probably his most famous one.Concerning my secondary literature, I tried to find a mixture of classical references, like 'Literary Transcendentalism' by Lawrence Buell, and of new and rather fresh internet-sources. To achieve a high level of reliability for my internet-sources, I almost only used homepages of american universities. With this mixture, I want to demonstrate that the topic of my term paper has been, and still is, relevant to literary studies.I will start with a chapter about the Transcendentalism in general, the role of Emerson and name some of the criticism of Transcendentalism. The third chapter is concerned with a detailed analysis of the poem 'Give All To Love' by Emerson after which I will point out the typical transcendental elements in the poem. In chapter four, I will analyse Poe's short-story 'The Fall of the House of Usher' with regard to the research question and look for ridicule of Transcendentalism. I will close my term paper in the fifth chapter with a conclusion and will subsume, if and how my research question has been answered throughout the paper. 24 pp. Englisch.

Manuscript / Paper Collectible Signed
Emerson, Ralph Waldo. Autograph letter signed ("R.W. Emerson"), 5 pages, 5" x 8", Concord, 26 May 1858. A very good literary letter addressed to Mrs. Watson ("My dear friend"; likely Mary Russell Watson, former governess to Emerson's son Waldo, paramour of Thoreau, and a lifelong friend of the transcendentalists), offering his opinions on an article she has written in support of the transcendental poetry of William Ellery Channing, which she plans to send to the Atlantic Monthly. Mailing folds; minor toning and offsetting of ink; near-fine. A lengthy and detailed letter from the founder of transcendentalism on one of its major poets, to a respected woman of the movement, who authored more than one valued commentary on its primary figures. In this letter, Emerson writes to "Mrs Watson," (we believe it is Mary Russell Watson) regarding a manuscript of an article she intends to publish in the Atlantic Monthly on the poet William Ellery Channing. Emerson awards high praise to the manuscript and advises her on further additions and revisions that will bring it to a state of readiness. In doing so, the renowned author on so many pieces regarding the natural world gives a rare window into his own literary process. He writes regarding character, "every piece of character in writing is, a stroke of genius," and yet notes that character alone is not enough for a good piece of writing, "It is by no means character & genius that are good to print, but something quite different, - namely, tact, talent, sparkle, wit, humor, select anecdote & Birmingham lacker." He praises her description of Channing, "Nothing can be acuter criticism than what you say of the art to pay how little, not how much, belonging to this fatal poet," but insists she must go further, "Think for a moment, & tell me, if you can say another word as descriptive of his genius." He suggests for the most honest and varied "Reflections" she should go back to "the journal in which you have at any time jot down detached thoughts on these poems, it might easily furnish the needed details and variety of criticism." Emerson suggests that in the future he may go through her journal with her by way of assistance. Emerson also has a thing or two to say about the editors who hold final sway over what appears in print, "that sad Bench where two judges or three judges are believed to sit and read with red eyes every scrap of paper that is addressed to the "Atlantic Monthly. I know that they read 400 papers to admit ten." Despite the flaws he points out, he assures her "you have the materials of a good literary article," and despite the hurdles her piece must overcome, "you will print it." Watson (nee Russell) first came into contact with the transcendentalists as governess for Emerson's young son Waldo, when she was no more than 20 in 1840, and stayed for two years, until young Waldo's untimely death. She was boarding with the Emersons at the same time as Thoreau, who apparently was so taken with her that biographers attribute a "temporary lapse in Thoreau's august transcendentalism to meeting the pilgrim (Russell) on Emerson's doorstep." Although she ended up marrying his friend from Harvard rather than himself, Thoreau authored the closest piece he ever came to a love poem for Watson, titled "To the Maiden in the East" and sent it to her in Plymouth, where she moved with her husband to found an arboretum, which became a meeting ground for transcendentalists for years to come. Following Thoreau's early death in 1862, Watson published her "Reminiscences" of the great man, and the Watson manuscript archives have provided a further window into a nexus of transcendentalist thought. Perhaps even more devoted to Thoreau than Watson was Channing, the transcendentalist movement's honorary poet, and with whom Watson was also well-acquanted. Though married to Ellen Fuller, the younger sister of Margaret, the poet Channing preferred to live instead as an unencumbered wanderer, frequently romping through the woods with Emerson and Thoreau, and known throughout New England for finding the most beautiful and hidden natural spots. It was Channing who famously offered Thoreau the advice to "build yourself a hut" which Thoreau took when he built himself a cabin on the shore of Walden Pond and began writing his masterwork. The two were so close that Channing was lost after Thoreau's death, once writing, "half the world died for me when I lost Mr. Thoreau." (Between Concord and Plymouth: The Transcendentalists and the Watsons, 1973).
