His chapters on conversation, religious discourse, catalog rhetoric, and literary travelogue treat intensively topics that have been relatively neglected. His analyses of Ellery Channing's poetry and the use of persona in Emerson and Very are also innovative. In the final section, he offers the first systematic account of the autobiographical tradition in transcendentalist writing.›pp› UR - https://doi.org/10.7591/9781501707667 UR - http://www.degruyter.com/doc/cover/9781501707667.jpg ER -
