<p>Like eras as in transcendentalism (sp?) or romantic era. Which ones should I look out for, and what type of authors should I look for?</p>
<p>bump we need help!!!</p>
<p>For authors etc..</p>
<p>Transcend. is not that hard, just Emerson and Thoreau.</p>
<p>Remember Thomas Paine</p>
<p>Some muckrackers like Ida Tarbell</p>
<p>Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring”</p>
<p>Harriet Beecher Stowe</p>
<p>Upton Sinclair “Jungle” —> Pure Food & Drug Acts</p>
<p>john locke’s two treatises on civil government
w.e.b. du bois the souls of black folk
those two are pretty important</p>
<p>also jacob r… (forgot how to spell last name) - how the other side lived…</p>
<p>Thanks , I got most of them down, although I can’t really understand Emerson’s and Thoreau’s philosophies. Mind if any of you could explain it? This is what I think of it so far, live life without expecting anything, don’t desire wealth or care for materialistic objects.</p>
<p>i feel that they are very emphasized in nature… i mean, thoureau went out into the wilderness, walden pond in concord, MA and lived there for a year to write his book…</p>
<p>Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique, which urged women to break free from the domestic role and seek “something more.”</p>
<p>Ralph Waldo Emerson claimed that all people were capable of seeing the truth if they relied on their inner selves and trusted their hearts. In Walden, Henry David Thoreau recounted his two years spent living in a cabin in the woods away from civilization and materialism. He advocated living a simple life according to one’s conscience, not according to society’s repressive codes.</p>
<p>Henry George’s “Poverty and Progress”</p>
<p>“Looking Backwards” Edward Bellamy</p>
