-- Would you label Dickinson as Transcendental? Why or why not?
I would label Dickinson as Transcendental because her works contain many references to nature, which is "the perfect manisfestation of [the] Truth." In this passage, labeled "Day 1," Emily Dickinson also writes about religion, showing she has her own philosophy on the topic. "I never spoke with God, Nor visited in heaven; Yet certain am I of the spot As if the chart were given." I think Dickinson is also a transcendentalist because of her views of life, shown in "XX" in "Day 1" (p. 86).
