American Transcendental 2008 Calendar [Calendar]

Jane English; Ralph Waldo Emerson; Henry David Thoreau (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 10, 2007

American transcendentalism was a highly influential movement in philosophy and literature that flourished during the first half of the nineteenth century and included such luminaries as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. For the transcendentalists, the soul of each individual was identical to the soul of the world and contained all that the world contained. The sensitive nature photographs by Walter H. James (1873-1963) and his granddaughter, Jane English, in the American Transcendental 2008 wall calendar perfectly capture this movement. The photographs are accompanied by gems of wisdom from the writings of Emerson, Fuller, Thoreau and other American Transcendentalists. The calendar design, text choices and background photographs are by Jane English. Sample Caption: "We lie in the lap of immense intelligence, which makes us receivers of its truth, and organs of its activities." -Emerson, "Self-Reliance"

Jane English's photographs open your awareness to the really real. (Remember her beautiful pictures in Tao Te Ching thirty years ago?) The photographs alone are worth the price of admission, and if you know someone who loves or would love American transcendental poetry, Thoreau and Emerson, believe me, this calendar is a great gift.

Stunning photography and powerful words. Leave off the endless notations on religious holidays; let this be about Emerson, Thoreau, James, and English.
