摘要:Mythic Archetypes in Ralph Waldo Emerson explores the American writer's essays as mythic prose poems, suggesting a new approach to the practical criticism of Emerson's works. Richard O'Keefe uses the archetypal model - a critical tool seldom employed on American Romantics, yet frequently applied in the study of British Romantic poets such as William Blake - to contemporize methods of examining Emersonian texts.
