Zusammenfassung: | Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau have traditionally been portrayed as alienated outsiders, isolated voices of opposition to a society that failed to heed their words. More recently, they have been seen as unwitting advocates of capitalist culture, their texts and careers driven by its hidden logic even as they indicted its excesses. In Sublime Thoughts/Penny Wisdom Richard F. Teichgraeber III rejects both of these views to offer a revisionist account of the relation of Emerson and Thoreau to the emerging market culture of antebellum America Emerson and Thoreau, Teichgraeber argues, engaged their contemporary readers in a common conversation about the institutions, conduct, and moral fiber of a Northern society experiencing radical social changes and, in Southern slavery, encountering a dramatic challenge to its political values and economic way of life. Teichgraeber contends that Emerson and Thoreau knew their own purposes as social critics and set about achieving them in their published writings. In turn, the new mediators of antebellum culture - commercial publishers, editors, reviewers, and booksellers - successfully marketed the two Concord writers to a broad range of ordinary readers, discussed their works with surprising discernment, and constructed the images by which Emerson and Thoreau would eventually be canonized in American literature |

Teichgraeber Baltimore [u.a.] Johns Hopkins Univ. Press 1995 XXIII, 283 S. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier New studies in American intellectual and cultural history Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau have traditionally been portrayed as alienated outsiders, isolated voices of opposition to a society that failed to heed their words. More recently, they have been seen as unwitting advocates of capitalist culture, their texts and careers driven by its hidden logic even as they indicted its excesses. In Sublime Thoughts/Penny Wisdom Richard F. Teichgraeber III rejects both of these views to offer a revisionist account of the relation of Emerson and Thoreau to the emerging market culture of antebellum America Emerson and Thoreau, Teichgraeber argues, engaged their contemporary readers in a common conversation about the institutions, conduct, and moral fiber of a Northern society experiencing radical social changes and, in Southern slavery, encountering a dramatic challenge to its political values and economic way of life. Teichgraeber contends that Emerson and Thoreau knew their own purposes as social critics and set about achieving them in their published writings. In turn, the new mediators of antebellum culture - commercial publishers, editors, reviewers, and booksellers - successfully marketed the two Concord writers to a broad range of ordinary readers, discussed their works with surprising discernment, and constructed the images by which Emerson and Thoreau would eventually be canonized in American literature Emerson, Ralph Waldo <1803-1882> Appreciation United States Thoreau, Henry David <1817-1862> Appreciation United States Thoreau, Henry David 1817-1862 (DE-588)118622293 gnd rswk-swf Emerson, Ralph Waldo 1803-1882 (DE-588)118530127 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1800-1900 Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1835-1860 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte American literature 19th century History and criticism Theory, etc Authors and readers United States History 19th century Canon (Literature) Literature and society United States History 19th century Buchmarkt (DE-588)4121054-2 gnd rswk-swf Literarisches Leben (DE-588)4074272-6 gnd rswk-swf Rezeption (DE-588)4049716-1 gnd rswk-swf Gesellschaftskritik (DE-588)4020643-9 gnd rswk-swf USA United States Civilization 19th century USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf Thoreau, Henry David 1817-1862 (DE-588)118622293 p USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Buchmarkt (DE-588)4121054-2 s Geschichte 1835-1860 z DE-604 Emerson, Ralph Waldo 1803-1882 (DE-588)118530127 p Gesellschaftskritik (DE-588)4020643-9 s Literarisches Leben (DE-588)4074272-6 s Rezeption (DE-588)4049716-1 s Geschichte z DE-188 |
