Abstract

Abstract:The voice that speaks in Emerson's essays is neither unified nor straightforwardly identifiable with the author, but plural and ventriloquial. It explores each issue from multiple perspectives and takes on rhetorical postures associated with the perspectives it inhabits. I consider the formal cues through which critics may track subtle shifts in voice and suggest that these same cues might also be useful in reading other authors associated with Transcendentalism. I intend my analysis as a demonstration of new formalist principles. If the content of Emerson's essays denies attribution to an authorial stance, then political significance is directly accountable to literary form.

爱默生和他的几种声音之间

摘要:在爱默生的散文中，说话的声音既不是统一的，也不是与作者直接识别的，而是复数的、腹语的。它从多个角度探讨每个问题，并采取与它所处的角度相关的修辞姿态。我考虑了评论家可能通过这些形式线索来追踪声音的微妙变化，并建议这些线索在阅读与先验主义有关的其他作者时也可能有用。我打算把我的分析作为对新形式主义原则的论证。如果爱默生散文的内容否认作者的立场，那么政治意义就直接与文学形式有关。
