Examines the mid-nineteenth-century flowering of American transcendentalism and shows the movement's influence on several subsequent writers, thinkers, and artists who have drawn inspiration and energy from the creative outpouring it produced.

This is the first full-length biography of Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, one of the three Peabody sisters of Salem, Massachusetts, and sister-in-law of Nathaniel Hawthorne and Horace Mann. It traces the intricate private life and extraordinary career of one of 19th-century America's most important Transcendental writers and educational reformers.
