This paper seeks to describe and interpret the pervasive practice
of quoting in Emerson’s essays. The focus is on the early texts, and although
the aim is not to identify the often hidden sources, various corpuses are
addressed (the Bible, German and English poets, and Emerson’s own journals, the
origin of much self-quotation). Emerson’s relentless quoting is shown to be not
only in accordance with the Romantic self-consciousness of literature, or with
traditional rhetorical requirements of authority and variety, but also, more
fundamentally and quite paradoxically, with the philosophy of self-reliance.
For the Emersonian, nonconformist “scholar”, quoting does not amount to
obedience, but expresses unison with truths uttered in the past: echoing the
voices of other ages is a way of finding one’s own. |
