| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The book studies the American philosophical and spiritual movement called Transcendentalism, based in New England, which focused on the primacy of the individual conscience and rejected materialism in favour of closer communion with nature. It also includes a brief analysis of famous transcendentalist works, Ralph Waldo Emerson's "Self-Reliance" and Henry David Thoreau's Walden. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
