Would you label Emily Dickinson as a Transcendentalist, why or why not?
After reading the poems from our reading assignment that were written by Emily Dickenson it became clear to me that she shared many transcendental beliefs with Emerson and Thoreau and other Transcendentalists. In the first poem I read by her (XX) she was discussing being drunk off of nature, which ties in with the love of nature aspect of transcendentalism. In the second poem labeled XXI, she described her letter to the world, which was to promote the “news that Nature told”, she told people to love nature in that poem. These are just a few of the Transcendental aspects found in Dickinson’s poems.
