Beskrivning

American Romanticism and the Popularization of Literary Education focuses on three Romantic educational genres and their institutional and media contexts: the conversation, literary journalism, and the public lecture. The genres discussed in this book illustrate the ways in which the Transcendentalists engaged nineteenthcentury media and educational institutions in order to fully realize their projects. The book also charts the development from the semi-public conversational platforms such as Alcott’s Temple School and Fuller’s conversations for women in the 1830s to the increasingly public periodical culture and lecture platforms of the 1840s and the early 1850s. This expansion caused a reconsideration of the meaning and function of Romanticism.

Recensioner i media

Clemens Spahr has given us a fresh portrait of the Transcendentalists as social reformers who were grounded in education, and developed an array of original forms of instruction and conversation as the tools of social change. His remarkable book will deeply increase our recognition and appreciation of the impact of Transcendentalism.
