'This is the definitive book on the Coleridge-Emerson relation and offers a superb picture of transatlantic Romanticism at work - traced, affirmed, and explained. Professor Harvey provides the full context and result of their relationship. In addition, the chapter treating Coleridge's formative presence in the Vermont school of Transcendentalism, which continues to influence higher education and Pragmatism, is a gem.' James Engell, Harvard University 'In this lucid and elegant transatlantic study, Harvey shows how deeply Emerson's thought - hence Transcendentalism itself - was imbued with the light of Coleridge's philosophy. Emerson learned from Coleridge not just what but how to think, a debt we still honor today whenever we invoke education not as an accumulation of content, but as a process of living.' Laura Dassow Walls, William P. and Hazel B. White Professor of English, University of Notre Dame The first book devoted to Coleridge's influence on Emerson and the development of American Transcendentalism As Samantha C. Harvey demonstrates, Samuel Taylor Coleridge's thought galvanized Emerson at a pivotal moment in his intellectual development in the years 1826-1836, giving him new ways to harmonize the Romantic triad of nature, spirit, and humanity. Emerson did not think /about/ Coleridge: he thought /with/ Coleridge, resulting in a unique case of assimilative influence. In addition to examining his specific literary, philosophical, and theological influences on Emerson, this book reveals Coleridge's centrality for Boston Transcendentalism and Vermont Transcendentalism, a movement which profoundly affected the development of modern higher education, the national press, and the emergence of Pragmatism. Samantha C. Harvey is an Associate Professor of English Literature at Boise State University. She is the editor of /Coleridge's Responses: Coleridge on Nature and Vision/ (2008).
