As Richard Hardack shows, however, writers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Herman Melville conceived of nature as everything "Other"--Other than the white male Protestant culture of which they were a part. This conception of nature, then, became racialized, and the divine became associated with African American and Native American identities, as well as with femininity. In "Not Altogether Human," Hardack reevaluates transcendentalism in the context of nineteenthcentury concerns about individual and national racial identity. Elucidating the influence of pantheism, Hardack draws on an array of canonical and unfamiliar materials to remap the boundaries of what has long been viewed as white male transcendental discourse. This book significantly revises notions of what transcendentalism and pantheism mean and how they relate to each other. Hardack's close analysis of pantheism and its influence on major works and lesser known writing of the nineteenth century opens up a new perspective on American culture during this key moment in the country's history."--Project Muse. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 19th century|2fast 648 7 1800-1899|2fast 650 0 Pantheism in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh94007525 650 0 Transcendentalism in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh94008802 650 0 American literature|y19th century|xHistory and criticism. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007101047 650 7 Pantheism in literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1052226 650 7 Transcendentalism in literature.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1154557 650 7 American literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 807113 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 655 7 Dictionaries.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026086 655 7 Dictionaries.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423826 776 08 |iPrint version:|aHardack, Richard.|tNot altogether human. |dAmherst : University of Massachusetts Press, ©2012 |z9781558499577|w(DLC) 2012007993|w(OCoLC)768167110 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1246445|zOnline eBook.
