In nineteenth-century New England, the interplay of religious and educational discourse advanced the concepts of self-culture (the strain of individualism born in the Great Awakening and elucidated by William Ellery Channing a century later) and social reform as such languages of authority helped construct varying individualities and discourse communities. This interplay, shaped by various economic, political, and social factors, worked to shape the literary genres of essay and novel---forms that enjoyed different levels of popularity and, from the eighteenth century on, rather different audiences. This new historicist study looks at two parallel reform parties---the Unitarian-Transcendental line of Channing, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Amos Bronson Alcott, and Margaret Fuller, and the Calvinist-evangelical line of the Beechers: Lyman, Catharine, Henry Ward, and Harriet. Despite the philosophical and stylistic distances between these two movements, there was also mutual influence. Both lines of thought attempted to reform society, with different emphases on the individual, through new religious and educational systems, with their own discourses and genres.

520 $a Viewing the changes in religious, educational, and literary cultures in terms of constructing individual and community identity, (re)locating power, and institutionalizing the promises of democracy allows us to see authority and reform as the pervasive social concerns of the nineteenth-century---concerns affecting all cultural discourse. The theories and discourses of religion and education underwent significant changes in New England, and these theoretical and discursive shifts had profound effects both on the relationship between the individual and community (whether in a social or literary context) and on the theory and discourse of literary production and consumption. This study provides a new way of reading literary texts---from pamphlets to periodicals to essays to novels---as synthetic discourses of authority reminiscent of sermons and lectures. In those texts the archetypal American desires, seemingly paradoxical drives for individualism and communitarianism, achieve symbiotic power.
