The Sense of Self in 19th c Literature Series: "Self-Reliance" and "Circles" (1841) - Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Sense of Self in 19th century literature - a discussion series at the Caledon Library, led by Kghia Gherardi

Tuesdays, once a month, 6-7 pm SLT

As exploration, industrialization and colonization expanded during the nineteenth century, the way the individual viewed his and her role within this world also altered. This literature series will look at how the individual defines himself or herself, how societies react to these changes, and how the evolving sense of self succeeds and fails. The readings will included essays by Ralph Waldo Emerson, poetry by Walt Whitman, and fiction by Robert Louis Stevenson, Oscar Wilde, and Kate Chopin.
