Appearing to play the roles of benign mentor and eager disciple, they can also be seen as bitter rivals: America's foremost literary statesman, protective of his reputation, and an ambitious and sometimes refractory protégé. The truth, Joel Porte maintains, is that Emerson and Thoreau were complementary literary geniuses, mutually inspiring and inspired.In this book of essays, Porte focuses on Emerson and Thoreau as writers. He traces their individual achievements and their points of intersection, arguing that both men, starting from a shared belief in the importance of "self-culture," produced a body of writing that helped move a decidedly provincial New England readership into the broader arena of international culture. It is a book that will appeal to all readers interested in the writings of Emerson and Thoreau. 517 1 $aConsciousness & culture 606 $aNational characteristics, American, in literature 606 $aConsciousness in literature 606 $aCulture in literature 607 $aNew England$xIntellectual life$y19th century 615 0$aNational characteristics, American, in literature. 615 0$aConsciousness in literature. 615 0$aCulture in literature. 676 $a810.9/003 700 $aPorte$b Joel$01522734 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777824903321 996 $aConsciousness and culture$93762592 997 $aUNINA
