David Greven, All the Devils Are Here
Altars to the Beautiful Necessity”
Ralph Waldo Emerson’s 1860 essay “Fate” has long been recognised as one of his most important essays. This paper is the first to examine the significance for Emerson of his reading of F. W. J. Shelling’s “Inquiry into the Nature of Human Freedom” using the unpublished manuscript of James Elliot Cabot’s translation of Schelling from the 1840s (Schlesinger Library, Radcliffe). I locate Emerson’s reading of the MS against the backdrop of his own int…
Emerson’s Transatlantic Romanticism
This book provides an original account of Emerson's creative debts to the British and European Romantics, including Coleridge and Carlyle, firmly locating them in his New England context. Moreover thi
The Divine Mind
It is in Emerson’s 1836 monograph Nature that he first publishes the progress of his attempt to determine the intimate relationship between nature, man and God which I am condensing into the title of this chapter: ‘the divine mind’. We have already seen that man and nature are mutually defined through Emerson’s homocentrism and that he connects man and God through his interpretation of Coleridge’s reason. This trinity of man, nature and God can b…
Afterword
In this afterword I look at the period 1850–1910 from a Transatlantic perspective, focusing on key New England writers whose work spans the disciplines of philosophy and literature: Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Emily Dickinson, Herman Melville and William James. I begin with Stanley Cavell’s claim that America first expressed itself philosophically in the ‘metaphysical riot’ of its literature, which, he argues, pre‐existed the discip…

Locating an American romanticism
This article reads Ralph Waldo Emerson's 1844 essay 'Experience' as a work of mourning that gives rise to critical reaction in the romantic tradition to specific philosophical ideas New England had imported from Europe early in the 19th century. The author reads this transatlantic interaction in the wider context of journal entries, arguing that the death of Emerson's son is a test to Emerson's philosophy and his literary form, indeed, the highes…
