Transcendentalism in New England
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textThe first history of the movement, written in 1876 by Octavius Brooks Frothingham, a minister who had known many of its people. It begins with the German, French and English thinkers they read, and then gives chapters to Emerson, Alcott, Margaret Fuller, Theodore Parker and George Ripley. It is still a clear way into what they were arguing about.
