Abstract
Abstract Considerable scholarly attention has been lavished on the relationship between the great Victorian man of letters Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) and the Transcendentalist luminary Ralph Waldo Emerson, particularly regarding Emerson's role in publishing Carlyle's works in America. However, a newly discovered letter underlines the fact that Emerson did not act alone, having received crucial support in editing Carlyle's works from Charles Stearns Wheeler, a young Harvard graduate.
期刊介绍：
Contributions cover a range of time periods, from before European colonization to the present, and any subject germane to New England’s history—for example, the region’s diverse literary and cultural heritage, its political philosophies, race relations, labor struggles, religious contro- versies, and the organization of family life. The journal also treats the migration of New England ideas, people, and institutions to other parts of the United States and the world. In addition to major essays, features include memoranda and edited documents, reconsiderations of traditional texts and interpretations, essay reviews, and book reviews.
