About this title

Synopsis

Using the theories of Nietzche, Freud, Jung, and Lacan — as well as the critical insights of Derrida, Iser, Ricoeur, and others — Steele explains how Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, and Margaret Fuller attempted to influence readers by promoting psychological myths that functioned as ontological paradigms. She also shows that the Transcendentalist myths of the psyche are most fully revealed in the works of Poe, Hawthorne, and Melville.

Originally published in 1987.
