The Divinity School Address .
Masterplots II: Christian Literature. Sep2007, p1-4. 4p.
Breaking with the theological traditions of Puritan forebears and affronting many Unitarian contemporaries, Emerson began his work in controversy and became perhaps the most influential thinker in the American cultural tradition. As preacher, poet, lecturer, and essayist over the course of his career, he sought to articulate a new vision of spirit in the world and a conduct of life appropriate for the citizenry of the young nation. His address to Harvard’s divinity students in 1838 articulates this vision. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Agathos: An International Review of the Humanities 2023, Vol. 14 Issue 2, p53-62, 10p
This article contends that there exists significant similitude between the fundamental principles of twentieth-century Reader-Response theory and the notions of the role of the reader and the reading process ideated by nineteenth-century American Transcendentalist, Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 -1882 ). Through a close reading of the multifarious references, sporadically scattered through Emerson's essays, addresses and journals, and the theories of Louise Rosenblatt, Stanley Fish, Wolfgang Iser and Jonathan Culler, this article attempts to shed light on how Emerson presages the Reader-Response theorists' emphasis on the instrumental role of the reader in meaning formation, on the essentially creative and active, inherently subjective and unique nature of the reading process, the relentlessly dynamic and unduplicable experience of the act of reading; and, lastly, the indispensable importance of literary knowledge and competence as prerequisites to signification and meaning construal of the interpretative reading process.

This article presents several works about author Ralph Waldo Emerson . Waldo Emerson by Gay Wilson Allen incorporates more of Emerson's journals and intimate life along with a thorough assessment of his social and intellectual background. The Life of Emerson by Van Wyck Brooks remains one of the most lucid and readable studies of Emerson's life. Brooks makes extensive use of Emerson's letters and journals in this lively, impressionistic narrative. In Representative Man: Ralph Waldo Emerson in His Time, Joel Porte makes extensive use of the multi-volume Journals and Miscellaneous Notebooks to offer the best of the reappraisals of Emerson's importance as a poet and critic that appeared during the centennial of his death.

Mr. Emerson's Revolution
2015
This volume traces the life, thought and work of Ralph Waldo Emerson , a giant of American intellectual history, whose transforming ideas greatly strengthened the two leading reform issues of his day: abolition and women's rights. A broad and deep, yet cautious revolutionary, he spoke about a spectrum of inner and outer realities—personal, philosophical, theological and cultural—all of which gave his mid-career turn to political and social issues their immediate and lasting power. This multi-authored study frankly explores Emerson's private prejudices against blacks and women while he also publicly championed their causes. Such a juxtaposition freshly charts the evolution of Emerson's slow but steady application of his early neo-idealism to emancipating blacks and freeing women from social bondage. His shift from philosopher to active reformer had lasting effects not only in America but also abroad. In the U.S. Emerson influenced such diverse figures as Thoreau, Whitman, Dickinson and William James and in Europe Mickiewicz, Wilde, Kipling, Nietzsche, and Camus in Europe as well as many leading followers in India and Japan. The book includes over 170 illustrations, among them eight custom-made maps of Emerson's haunts and wide-ranging lecture itineraries as well as a new four-part chronology of his life placed alongside both national and international events as well as major inventions. Mr. Emerson's Revolution provides essential reading for students and teachers of American intellectual history, the abolitionist and women's rights movement―and for anyone interested in the nineteenth-century roots of these seismic social changes.
