Schreiner, Jr. Hoboken, N.J. John Wiley & Sons 2006 "Beginning in the 1830s, coincidences that seem almost miraculous in retrospect brought together in Concord as friends and neighbors four men of very different temperaments and talents who shared the same conviction that the soul had 'inherent power to grasp the truth' and that the truth would make men free of old constraints on thought and behavior. In addition to Emerson, a philosopher, there was Amos Bronson Alcott, an educator; Henry David Thoreau, a naturalist and rebel; and Nathaniel Hawthorne, a novelist. This book is the story of that unique and influential friendship in action, of the lives the friends led, and their work that resulted in an enduring change in their nation's direction." --From the Prologue Authors, American,Transcendentalists (New England),Literary landmarks,Tác giả ngừời Mỹ,Người theo thuyết tiên nghiệm,Các điểm mốc văn học 19th century,Thế kỷ 19 Massachusetts,Massachusetts Phuong, Năm Trung tâm Học liệu Trường Đại học Cần Thơ
