About this listen
Forget the cozy fireplaces and nature walks! This isn't your grandmother's Transcendentalism. Dive into the radical, rebellious, and sometimes downright spooky undercurrents of the movement that dared 19th-century America to rethink religion, break social rules, and encounter the terrifying beauty of the untamed world and human psyche.
Explore:
Spiritual Anarchists: How Emerson's fiery ideas about divine intuition challenged both churches and conventional ideas of obedience.
Screw the Rules: When following your inner truth led Transcendentalists like Margaret Fuller to defy marriage, property norms, and the very idea of "morality".
Thoreau's Jail Cell Manifesto: Witness how principled defiance landed "Resistance to Civil Government" in the hands of revolutionaries worldwide.
Haunted by the Invisible: Discover the dark side of self-reliance, when Transcendentalists grappled with their inner demons and a nature that was as terrifying as it was awe-inspiring.
Rebellion Never Dies See how Transcendentalist echoes reverberate from Beat poets and '60s counterculture to today's environmental movements and fierce individualism.
This book throws open the gates to a truly subversive Transcendentalism – messy, inspiring, and sometimes chilling. If you're ready to toss out the idyllic image and engage with a philosophy that embraces both beauty and chaos, this is your wild ride.
