They were the original hippies, the “ Beats” of the 19th Century”. They were a lost generation of unruly counter-culture radicals, challenging all accepted doctrines, living in crazy free-love communes and communing with nature. They were the Transcendentalists, described by one contemporary wag as “a race who dove into the infinite, soared into the illimitable and never paid cash” all the while “eating Orphic acorns by the peck.” Tonight, Inquiry speaks with PHILIP F. GURA, the William S. Newman Distinguished Professor of American Literature and Culture at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill about his wild history AMERICAN TRANSCENDENTALISM: A HISTORY. Tonight, tune in, turn on and drop out…old school style.
