"The phoenix rising: Alchemical imagination in the works of Edward Taylor, Edgar Allan Poe, and Nathaniel Hawthorne"
Author:
Randall Anthony Clack, University of Connecticut
"This study explores the use of the alchemical opus--the esoteric science which was concerned with the transmutation of base metals into gold--in the works of Edward Taylor, Edgar Allan Poe, and Nathaniel Hawthorne, three major authors from two distinct periods of pre-twentieth-century American literature who were influenced by hermetic (occult) philosophy and alchemy."
