my paper topic

2. Comparison. Emerson and Thoreau are the most recognizable proponents of

Transcendentalism, but each emphasized different features of the movement. Take some

aspect of their thought or writing and explore the similarities and differences their

works exhibit. In the process, you should arrive at a clearer understanding of

Transcendentalism in general and these two writers in particular. Topics to consider

include self-reliance, individualism, and the importance of nature.
