- Title
"The Most Dismal Fraud of the New England Transcendental Group": Julian Hawthorne on Thoreau.
- Authors
Scharnhorst, Gary
- Abstract
The author focuses on writer Julian Hawthorne's perspectives on writer Henry David Thoreau. The author shows that Hawthorne's opinion of Thoreau varied greatly. Earlier writings portray a critical view of Thoreau, calling him a fraud of the New England Transcendental group, and later writings tend to romanticize Thoreau and exaggerate the extent to which Hawthorne was known by Thoreau. He suggests that Hawthorne always considered Thoreau a sidekick to writer Ralph Waldo Emerson.
