Thesis (M.A.)--University of Houston-Clear Lake, 2006.

A historical evaluation was made of Ralph W. Emerson's Nature and Henry D. Thoreau's Walden to determine how the Age of Reason and Age of Romanticism influenced their writings. A comparison of both writings to the historical events of the 1700s and 1800s produced evidence and proof that both eras profoundly inspired and extended their views about traditional science as well as stimulated their own transcendental notions about the mysteries of life. Both authors combined rational and non-rational views about life because they are part of one ever-changing reality. By using this approach in their writings, Emerson and Thoreau could explain both the scientific method and mysticism as one all encompassing process. This study also found the beginning ideas of an evolving universe in Emerson's and Thoreau's theories about life. One conclusion from this study suggests a new correlative philosophy toward understanding phenomena.
