Summary "Four Americans: Roosevelt, Hawthorne, Emerson, Whitman" by Henry A. Beers is a literary critique written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a collection of essays exploring the lives and legacies of four prominent American figures: Theodore Roosevelt, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Walt Whitman. The book delves into their contributions to American literature and culture, analyzing their distinctive styles, philosophies, and the societal contexts in which they operated. The opening portion of the book begins with an exploration of Theodore Roosevelt as a man of letters, highlighting his multifaceted personality and extensive literary contributions, which he balanced alongside a bustling political career. Beers reflects on Roosevelt's vigorous nature, his literary achievements, and his bold stance on various issues, while also critiquing his often aggressive and confrontational style. The author contrasts Roosevelt's forceful character with the quieter, more introspective approaches of the other three figures to be addressed in later chapters, setting the stage for a deeper analysis of their individual impacts on American culture and literature.
