Mary Moody Emerson and the Origins of Transcendentalism: A Family History
Cole, Phyllis (Associate Professor of English, Women's Studies and American studies, Associate Professor of English, Women's Studies and American studies, Pennsylvania State University)
A study of the eccentric aunt of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Based on the first reading of her known letters and diaries, the complex human voice and powerful forerunner of Transcendentalism is revealed. Emerson diverted her ancestors' fervent religion into the celebration of solitude, nature, and imagination while exploring new ground as a woman writer.
