Mayo 2012 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT While there exists some scholarship affirming the aesthetic and intellectual connections between transcendentalism and the poetry of Elizabeth Bishop, there is to date no substantial study of what role Ralph Waldo Emerson singularly played in the inheritance of that tradition. This essay seeks to validate Emerson as Bishop’s literary parentage, an influence that, though not immediately identifiable, greatly shaped her creative process. In so doing, it addresses the critical mistakes which have prevented a thorough discussion of Emerson’s relevance and, moreover, negatively dominated the imagination of Bishop scholarship. As an exploration of the writers’ shared iconography, their mutual metaphors, the following traces three common subjects: nature, language, and vision.

  • Performing Loss, Elegy, and Transcendental Friendship
    Performing Loss, Elegy, and Transcendental Friendship william rossi —For Joel “Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Friendship,” 1841 HE broad outlines of Henry Thoreau’s complicated re- T lationship with Ralph Waldo Emerson are well known. Embraced as a proteg´ e´ following his graduation from Har- vard College in 1837 and admitted to the circle of radical thinkers and young seekers who had gathered around Emerson, Thoreau benefited enormously, throughout the first decade of their friendship, from the older man’s encouragement, mate- rial assistance, professional advice, and rising stature as a writer and philosopher. In the seven-year period between April 1841, when he first moved into the Emerson house, and July 1848, when Emerson returned from an eight-month lecture tour in Britain, Thoreau passed more time with Emerson—under his roof or under his sponsorship—than with his own family. “For the simple reason that Emerson was the inspiration of his early years,” Thoreau was more invested in the friendship.1 The author gratefully acknowledges the assistance of John Lysaker, whose ini- tiative provided a first occasion for these thoughts, as well as the vital encour- agement and valuable criticism he received from Karen Ford, Jim Crosswhite, and Lynne Rossi. 1Robert Sattelmeyer, “Emerson and Thoreau,” in The Cambridge Companion to Henry David Thoreau, ed.

  • Translating Carlyle: Ruminating on the Models of Metafiction at The
    religions Article Translating Carlyle: Ruminating on the Models of Metafiction at the Emergence of an Emersonian Vernacular David LaRocca Cinema Department, Binghamton University, 4400 Vestal Parkway East, Binghamton, NY 13902, USA; [email protected] Received: 1 June 2017; Accepted: 28 July 2017; Published: 15 August 2017 Abstract: Given the exemplary studies of Thomas Carlyle’s influence on the Boston intelligentsia of the 1830s and 1840s, for instance by Robert D. Richardson and Barbara L. Packer, we may wonder if there are other questions to ask on the subject—and then, not so much as a point of disagreement or divergence, but rather in a spirit of seeking what may come to light given that so many elemental aspects have been so well digested by others. Avoiding a rehearsal of expert observations, much less a rote re-treading of key insights, I wish to focalize the present investigation by asking how, in particular, a single book—Sartor Resartus—affected Emerson’s conception of what might be possible for him to think about literary, religious, and philosophical expression in terms of humor, satire, genre, and translation (specifically cultural translation); thus, I am asking about the interaction between form and content, and specifically how the form and content of Sartor Resartus makes itself known and available to Emerson. Borrowing from George Eliot, the foregoing notes resolve themselves into the query that guides the present investigation: how was reading Sartor Resartus an “epoch in the history of” Emerson’s mind? Keywords: Ralph Waldo Emerson; Thomas Carlyle; Sartor Resartus; American Transcendentalism; transcendental thought; translational hermeneutics; metafiction; metaphor; genre; cultural translation In a late chapter of Thomas Carlyle’s Sartor Resartus: The Tailor Retailored (1833–1834), the bilious Teutonic professor Diogenes Teufelsdröckh remarks: In these distracted times, [ ..

  • From Naturalism Towards Humanism: an Emersonian Trajectory
    ! [These sample pages are not from an actual M.A. thesis nor are the citations necessarily real or accurate, but are included simply to illustrate proper citation style] FROM NATURALISM TOWARDS HUMANISM: AN EMERSONIAN TRAJECTORY A thesis submitted to the Theological School of Drew University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree, Master of Arts Emily Emerson Epps Drew University Madison, New Jersey May 2005! ! ! ABSTRACT From Naturalism Towards Humanism: An Emersonian Trajectory M.A. Thesis by Emily Emerson Epps Drew Theological School May 2005 Perhaps the nineteenth century offers up no better example of a superseded Christianity than Ralph Waldo Emerson. But if Emerson truly superseded the church then in some ways he still continues in its project. He is still interested in the sacred. But though discrete acts of historical revelation no longer figure centrally for him, one formal feature of their structure continues to play a role in his extensive oeuvre, namely their pattern of interrelationship via the model of promise and fulfillment. Emerson applies this structure to Nature, his key theme, in several permutations. Each expression of that pattern represents a different way of making a sacred Nature accessible to human experience. But that orientation towards the human conceals a rival location for the sacred once at home in the Christian god, namely the human soul. The thesis here is that as Nature recedes in Emerson’s work from making good on its promises, the human soul rises to fill the breach. Emerson thus prepares the way for later, twentieth century religious humanisms such as we find in Buber, Levinas, and the later Derrida.
