Inhaltsangabe

Teichgraeber (history, Tulane U.) offers a revisionist account of the relation of Emerson and Thoreau to the emerging market culture of antebellum America, arguing that the writers engaged their contemporary readers in a common conversation about the institutions, conduct, and moral fiber of a Northern society experiencing radical social changes. He contends that they knew their own purposes as social critics and achieved them in their published writings. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
