Reclaiming the Power of Subversive Language in Romantic and Transcendental Literature
Kelly Ann Nugent

High school teacher Kelly Ann Nugent asked her students to design schools that embodied the principles of learning suggested by writers such as Dickinson, Emerson, Poe, Thoreau, and Whitman. By doing so, students understood better not only the ideas of the writers but also the sometimes-contradictory conditions of their own schooling.
