OurCommonDwelling explores why America's first literary circle
turned to nature in the 1830s and '40s. When the New England
Transcendentalists spiritualized nature, they were reacting to
intense class conflict in the region's industrializing cities.
Their goal was to find a secular foundation for their social
authority as an intellectual elite. New England Transcendentalism
engages with works by William Wordsworth, Henry David Thoreau,
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and
others. The works of these great authors, interpreted in historical
context, show that both environmental exploitation and conscious
love of nature co-evolved as part of the historical development of
American capitalism.
