The paper exploresthe influence of Indian Ancient |
|
Philosophy and its significant strand in the American |
|
literary tradition. Why did culture, myth, history and |
|
philosophy of the East fascinate such a towering figure |
|
of the mid- 19th century Classic American literature, |
|
R.W. Emerson. This is an attempt to analyze how he looked |
|
towards the East for creative inspiration and sustained |
|
spiritual guidance. The investigation tries to trace the |
|
instances where he holds the Middle East in great esteem |
|
and regards the intellectual feats of Oriental |
|
civilizations. The study finds that Emerson provided the |
|
American people with a new momentum of literary milieu. |
|
There was every reason for the people of America to go |
|
through the ancient literature, to study history, |
|
fictions, culture, religions and spirituality. The |
|
curiosity in having discussion about the East increased. |
|
The Eastern Studies became their prime attention. The |
|
American erudition praises the Ancient Wisdom after they |
|
had exuded in turning page after page to penetrate into |
|
the Harem of the East.What makes this study especially |
|
interesting and is worth establishing is the Cultural |
|
variations with great possibilities of cross- cultural |
|
influences as an integral part of Emerson s engagement |
|
with the Eastern philosophy. |
