Sean Meehan's book reclaims three important but critically neglected aspects of the late Emerson's "mind": first, his engagement with rhetoric, conceived as the organizing power of mind and, unconventionally, characterized by the trope "metonymy"; second, his public engagement with the ideals of liberal education and debates in higher education reform early in the period (1860-1910) that saw the emergence of the modern university; and third, his intellectual relation to significant figures from this age of educational transformation: Walt Whitman, William James, Harvard president Charles W. Eliot, and W. E. B. Du Bois, Harvard's first African American PhD. Meehan argues that the late Emerson educates through the "rhetorical liberal arts," and he thereby rethinks Emerson's influence as rhetorical lessons in the traditional pedagogy and classical curriculum of the liberal arts college. Emerson's rhetoric of mind informs and complicates these lessons since the classical ideal of a general education in the common bonds of knowledge counters the emerging American university and its specialization of thought within isolated departments Emerson, Ralph Waldo 1803-1882 Criticism and interpretation Emerson, Ralph Waldo 1803-1882 Knowledge Education Emerson, Ralph Waldo 1803-1882 (DE-588)118530127 gnd Educational change United States History 19th century Rhetoric Study and teaching United States History 19th century Meehan Sean Ross 1969- (DE-588)135992184 Verfasser aut IDSBB 100 1- Emerson Ralph Waldo 1803-1882 (DE-588)118530127 Verfasser aut IDSBB 490 0- Mind and American literature IDSBB 700 1- Meehan Sean Ross 1969- (DE-588)135992184 Verfasser aut BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 IDSBB A192 A192 192VE ENG Am 445 i NELA1921904
