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.

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.
