Abstract: Due to the great emphasis which has been placed on the political aspects of American history for the middle period of the nineteenth century, America's reaction during the era to her impressions of European culture has not aroused much scholarly interest until recently. One of the best, but hitherto slighted, exemplars of one who considered America in light of his image of Europe was Ralph Waldo Emerson, whose career spanned the period.
