TRANSCENDENTALISM:
THE NEW ENGLAND RENAISSANCE.*
Tiffany Francis
The subject given me for my brief hour in this course of lectures reads simply “ Transcendentalism.” I propose to enlarge the title into “ Transcendentalism ; or, The New England Renaissance.” The especial designation, Renaissance, or Re-birth, I would emphasize from the outset, as starting in the mind a distinct class of conceptions, without the aid of which the New England movement cannot be treated with due sense of historical continuity.
