ICnhatprtoerd3uction
American society. Early in the century Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot published works that would change the nature of American poetry, but their impact (and that of other modernist writers) on the general reading public was slight. The genteel tradition and popular romanticism still dominated the nation’s literary tastes.
Introduction
ICnhatprtoerd3uction
The United States began the 20th century with a population of about 76,000,000, almost two thirds of it rural. The expansion of the railroads after the Civil War had reduced the provincial isolation of the nation—by 1900 the United States had nearly 200,000 miles of railroad tracks—yet the dominant symbol of mobility and industrialism that was to transform America had only begun to appear: in all the land there were only 8,000 horseless carriages and a mere 150 miles of paved country roads.

For Emerson, to believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for your private heart is true for all men. Speak your latent conviction, and it should be the universal sense. Yet a man dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts.

B. Symbolic visiHale Waihona Puke Baidun
For Emerson, the external world, that is, nature and the whole universe, is the embodiment of the internal or the spiritual world. In symbolic perception the irreconcilable elements of the 18th century philosophy, such as mind and matter, the inner world of value and the outer world of fact, have no separate existences but are ways of talking about a single, unitary act.
Poetic language
1. He skillfully uses some figures of speech, such as metaphors and similes, to drive home the comparison he wants to make. 2. Symbols, images, are widely used to make clear and vivid his metaphysical discussion of the over-soul, the Spirit, nature, and the overindividual man.
The distinction between subject and object vanishes, and in its place is an immediate grasp, through the symbols of nature, of the organic relation between human consciousness and what is outside of it, or of the organic unity of all parts of Being. Nature, to a great extent, illustrates the centrality of the symbolic method to his thought.
Literary Transcendentalism:
term
It refers to a kind of attitude that believes in the recognition in man of the capacity of knowing truth intuitively, or of attaining knowledge transcending the reach of the senses. In another word, transcendentalists believe that man learns things not only through reasoning based on his five senses, or by his own sensual experiences, and that he also learns
Chapter Three
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 -1883) Born in Boston to a clerical tradition. Leader of the transcendentalist movement in America. Journals and speeches were the forms of communication most natural to him.
Men imagine that they communicate their virtue or vice only by overt actions, and not see that virtue or vice emit a breath every moment. Instead of the gong for dinner, let us hear a whistle from the Spartan fife. Let us never bow and apologize more.
Text study: Self- Reliance SelfTheme of Self-Reliance (1841) Self-
This essay focuses on his discussion on the individual’s relations with his individual’ culture – culture in the broadest definition, thus exploring the implications of the fierce individualism at the heart of his Transcendental faith: the dignity, the ultimate sanctity of each human being.
Quotations for further appreciation
I ought to go upright and vital, and speak the rude truth in all ways. It is easy in the world to live after the world’ world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.
Hence, when Emerson calls for selfselfreliance, he means primarily the inward activity, that is, the soul engaged in seeing, which is not so much a moral injunction as the beginning of vision.
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. To be great is to be misunderstood.
Quotations for further appreciation
Questions to ponder
In what way do you see Transcendentalism in the parts we have studied? Do you agree with Emerson’s philosophy of Emerson’ selfself-reliance? What does his self-reliance mean? self-
Special features
Mode of perception
A. Self-reliance SelfEmerson’ Emerson’s real task as a writer is to demonstrate a way of seeing in which the individual eye, free of constraints of history or culture, achieves ultimate meaning through its own perception of the sensible data of the world. Ultimate meaning for him is latent in the act of perception, in the link which perception realizes between the self and objects, not in the systemization of abstract ideas derived from the analysis of perception.
