| 要約: | This study offers to read the correspondence between Emerson and Carlyle as a series of self-portraits where Emerson appears alternately, and sometimes simultaneously, under the guise of the friend, the literary agent, the vanishing self, and the author. Using the concept of “iconography,” it argues that Emerson reinvests the traditional characteristics of epistolary writing (such as fragmentation, incompletion, and dynamics), in order to compose a self-portrait in motion and to create a paradoxical, as well as ever incomplete, image of himself in which each trait belies another. |
