The first major study since the 1930s of the relationship between American Transcendentalism and Asian religions, and the first comprehensive work to include post-Civil War Transcendentalists like Samuel Johnson, this book is encyclopedic in scope. Beginning with the inception of Transcendentalist Orientalism in Europe, Versluis covers the entire history of American Transcendentalism into the twentieth century, and the profound influence of Orientalism on the movement--including its analogues and influences in world religious dialogue. He examines what he calls "positive Orientalism," which recognizes the value and perennial truths in Asian religions and cultures, not only in the writings of major figures like Thoreau and Emerson, but also in contemporary popular magazines. Versluis's exploration of the impact of Transcendentalism on the twentieth-century study of comparative religions has ramifications for the study of religious history, comparative religion, literature, politics, history, and art history.

By analyzing Ralph Waldo Emerson's interest in Oriental literature, a new portrait of Transcendentalism emerges that includes Indian influences such as the Bhagavad Gita, the Vishnu Purana and various secondary accounts of Hinduism, which arrived in Concord and Boston near the end of the 18th century. This thesis investigates these influences in order to assess the assimilative drive behind much of Emerson's appropriation of Indian literature. It draws from Edward Said's book Orientalism, the work that broke the ground for postcolonial studies. Said's Orientalism uncovers an unconscious attitude of aggression beneath many popular romanticized portrayals of Asian themes. Although Emerson saw Oriental influences as a possible antidote to the rising materialistic neuroses in America, his depictions of India are dubious. The overt sentimentality undermines the integrity of his understanding of Eastern ideas. The three essays in this thesis investigate the Oriental foundation of Transcendentalism, the dialectical framework that runs throughout both Emerson's work and the Bhagavadgita and also, the major myths and representations that he employed in order to appropriate Eastern concepts. Although Emerson's succumbed to Said's criticism of Orientalism, his attempts to incorporate Indian influences in American society are pioneering. Transcendentalism has left an undeniable mark on the American literary and religious landscape, opening many eyes to the possibilities of a non-Christian worldview.

In this extraordinarily candid book, Umesh Patri presents a fresh reappraisal of the impact of Indian scriptures on American transcendentalism which flourished in New England in the 19th century. The major premise of the study is that other influences on the transcendentalists, such as Chinese, Persian, Sufi, Arabic, Neo-Platonism and German transcendentalism, are of less significance than that of Indian scriptures comprising of Hindu and Buddhist texts. In the writings of Emerson, Thoreau and minor transcendentalists like Alcott, Fuller, Channing, Johnson, Brownson, etc., the influence of Indian scriptures is clearly discernable. An attempt has been made here to show that Indian scriptures have not only influenced the philosophical thinking of these writers but also their lifestyle and social conduct. It also attempts to show that transcendentalism was not an isolated movement but was a part of a cultural renaissance which swept the entire nation in the wake of avid interest and curiosity in the ancient lore of other countries. Transcendentalism, it is suggested here, continues to affect the thinking of Americans and can be viewed as a continuing movement of thought in American intellectual history. This book draws attention to many aspects of transcendentalism which have not been adequately discussed so far.
