Institution:

Antioch University-Midwest (Closed)

Subject:

Description:

Before students reach the college level, they have some exposure to the Transcendentalist Movement through the literature of Emerson, Thoreau, and Hawthorne. Due to the various interpretations of the founders of the movement, students usually only remember that it was idealistic. Throughthe direct comparison of the Transcendentalist's biographies, their movement (from approximately 1836-1860) to the post innocent 1950's rock and roll era of the 1960's (from approximately 1962-1969), students should be able to integrate how American society's external and factual macrocosm shifted in both eras to the individual consciousness/experience microcosm that defines what it is to be uniquely America
