To cap our unit on Emerson and Thoreau, we gave the last word to the Transcendentalists by watching the very beginning of the recent PBS documentary series on our National Parks, the first episode of which is titled "The Scripture of Nature."

HW due Monday:
Read the biographies of Nathaniel Hawthorne (pp. 296-97) and of Herman Melville (pp. 311-12) in the textbook. The will be a brief quizlet over them.
