Explores the problem of nineteenth-century American literary vision: the strange conflation of visible reality and poetic language that emerges repeatedly in the metaphors and literary creations of American transcendentalists. Michelle Kohler asks why, given American transcendentalism's anti-empiricism, the movement's central trope becomes an eye purged of imagination. And why, furthermore, despite its insistent empiricism, is this notorious eye also so decidedly not an eye?
