Topic: Charles Emerson Beecher


  
  Henry Ward Beecher - LoveToKnow 1911
HENRY WARD BEECHER (1813-1887), American preacher and reformer, was born in Litchfield, Connecticut, on the 24th of June 1813.
He was the eighth child of Lyman and Roxana Foote Beecher, and brother of Harriet Beecher Stowe.
The later years of his life were darkened by a scandal which Beecher's personal, political and theological enemies used for a time effectively to shadow a reputation previously above reproach, he being charged by Theodore Tilton, whom he had befriended, with having had improper relations with his (Tilton's) wife.

 A MIGHTY WINNER OF SOULS, A BIOGRAPHY OF FINNEY by Frank Grenville Beardsley
However, from the attitude of Lyman Beecher, Asahel Nettleton, and others, it was evident that they had come to New Lebanon to take a stand against the revivals conducted by Finney and to justify their opposition to the measures supposed to be employed by him.
Nettleton and Beecher had been so influenced by the current misrepresentations about Finney and his work that in all good conscience they thought that they must oppose him and wage an unceasing warfare against the methods and measures of which he was supposed to be the exponent.

 Excerpt from Ruland/Bradbury
For Whitman it all began with Emerson: "America of the future, in her long train of poets and writers, while knowing more vehement and luxuriant ones, will, I think, acknowledge nothing nearer this man, the actual beginner of the whole procession..."....
Emerson's leading role has made the transcendentalism of which he was spokesman seem central, but perhaps it seems more so in retrospect than at the time.
So powerful have Emerson and his circle come to seem that we should not forget that it was in some respects on the dissenting fringe of what Edgar Allan Poe, an outside observer, called "Boston Frogpondium." For most of the century New England represented a more genteel heritage and a more pedagogic one.

 Colonial America, 1607-1783: Literature
Joel Barlow, for example, wrote epic and mock epic poetry in the tradition of English writers such as John Milton and Alexander Pope, and Royall Tyler's play The Contrast closely resembles British Restoration comedies by Richard Brinsley Sheridan and William Congreve.
An early milestone in the history of a truly American literature came in 1819, when Washington Irving published the first installments of The Sketch Book, a collection of essays and stories, including "Rip Van Winkle" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." A year later, fellow New Yorker James Fenimore Cooper published his first novel.
In content, Emerson, Thoreau, Fuller, Longfellow, Whitman, Cooper, Stowe, and Melville not only set works in American locales, but drew heavily on American themes, issues, and identities--including exploration, democracy, individualism, slavery, native Americans, frontiersmen, and Cajuns--while also lending their American perspectives to eternal subjects, such as nature, religion, and truth.
