Thesis (Ph.D.)--Rutgers The State University of New Jersey - New Brunswick, 1999.

The Course of Empire (1833--1836) is considered one of Thomas Cole's most ambitious artistic achievements in terms of its sheer size, scope, and elevated subject matter beyond that of a simple landscape scene. It has been viewed as a series of paintings which depicts the rise and fall of an imagined empire. However, further inquiries into the life and times of Thomas Cole reveal a broader significance for this series as a Christian quest for salvation. As well, there are specific references to American cities and scenery. This allows for an interpretive reading of The Course of Empire as a religious parable and a moralistic warning against excess with regard to contemporary American life.

520 $a The Course of Empire (1833--1836) is considered one of Thomas Cole's most ambitious artistic achievements in terms of its sheer size, scope, and elevated subject matter beyond that of a simple landscape scene. It has been viewed as a series of paintings which depicts the rise and fall of an imagined empire. However, further inquiries into the life and times of Thomas Cole reveal a broader significance for this series as a Christian quest for salvation. As well, there are specific references to American cities and scenery. This allows for an interpretive reading of The Course of Empire as a religious parable and a moralistic warning against excess with regard to contemporary American life.
520 $a Cole was equally passionate about his writing in addition to his painting. During the time he painted The Course of Empire, he composed his most important public address, "Essay on American Scenery," (1835) and his most ambitious unpublished poem, "Spirits of the Wilderness---A poem in Twelve Parts," (1835). Bothessay and poem have strong associations with the painted series and shed hitherto unexplored light on the complex meaning of The Course of Empire. Through the use of two vocabularies, visual and literary, Cole makes strong moral, social, and religious commentaries.
520 $a Part one of this study addresses the commission for The Course of Empire and creates a context in which to examine Cole's experiential world. To read Cole's series as a moral and religious parable is to place his work within the realm of the socio-religious culture of America in the 1830s. Part two explores the symbolism present in both image and text. This section provides an analysis of the "Essay on American Scenery" and "Spirits of the Wilderness, A Poem in Twelve Parts" with additional attention is given to selected poems. Part three will examine The Course of Empire series of paintings which is replete with spiritual allusions and meaning. The Course of Empire is the artist's statement on nature's power and glory which must be understood in the 1830s as a metaphor for God's power and glory. In addition, this series reads as a moral journey or pilgrimage toward spiritual betterment. Appendix A of this study contains the first full transcription of "Spirits of the Wilderness, A Poem in Twelve Parts."
