Résumé
F. O. Matthiessen's ''American Renaissance: Art and Expression in the Age of Emerson and Whitman'' is a seminal and important work of literary criticism. It analyzes the explosive cultural output of 1850-1855, focusing on how Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, and Walt Whitman shaped a distinct American literature.
The study highlights how these five writers, operating in a shared cultural context, sought to create a democratic art form that addressed the function of literature and nature.
Although the authors did not work together, Matthiessen focused on the 1850s-specifically the publication of works like The Scarlet Letter, Moby-Dick, and Leaves of Grass-as the high point of 19th-century American literary achievement. The text explores the writers' views on language, art, and the extent to which their ideals were realized in their work. It is considered the definitive treatment of this era and instrumental in establishing the American literary canon.
