Alcott and Emerson
Subject
A picture of friendship
Description
Bronson Alcott and Ralph Waldo Emerson were not just two of the leading thinkers of the American Transcendentalist movement, but they were also close friends. It was the genius of Emerson that attracted Alcott to Concord, Massachusetts.
This is where Alcott would move his family following the closure of Temple School in Boston. In Concord, Bronson Alcott (along with his daughter Louisa May) were surrounded by the core of American Transcendentalists, including Henry David Thoreau, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Emerson's first published book "Nature," is considered to be his most significant work, and the blueprint for his philosophy of American Transcendentalism. Emerson died of pneumonia in 1882.
