The middle decades of the nineteenth century, sometimes known as
the American Renaissance, yielded some of the most enduring
literary works and influential philosophical ideas in American
history. The Transcendentalist movement was central to defining
this period, and nineteenth-century thinkers responded to it in
different ways. While Emerson and Thoreau fostered it, Hawthorne
and Poe criticized it; while Melville, though never part of New
England Transcendentalism, was ambivalent. The movement was not
entirely original, and American Transcendentalists borrowed much
from the European and Oriental traditions. This volume is a
comprehensive guide to the major and minor figures who shaped
Transcendentalism in New England, particularly between 1830 and the
Civil War. Included are entries for some two hundred writers,
philosophers, and theologians who fostered the movement or
responded to it in significant ways. While most of the entries are
for American thinkers, international figures who advanced
Transcendentalism in New England and who were alive until at least
1830 are also covered. Entries relate the person to
Transcendentalism, and each includes bibliographical references. A
short bibliographical essay identifies the most important general
biographical sources on American Transcendentalists.
