Guthrie explores the origins of the two preeminent transcendentalists' revolutionary approaches to time, as well as to the related concepts of history, memory, and change. Most critical discussions of this period neglect the important truth that the entire American transcendentalist project involved a transcendence of temporality as well as of materiality. Correspondingly, both writers call in their major works for temporal reform, to be achieved primarily by rejecting the past and future in order to live in an amplified present moment. 606 $aAmerican literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTime in literature 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTime in literature. 676 $a810.9/384 700 $aGuthrie$b James R$g(James Robert)$0854121 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961159603321 996 $aAbove time$94475405 997 $aUNINA
