摘　　要：Related to the basic features of Emerson＇s theories of Transcendentalism, the exploration of the novel in this thesis goes on three aspects. First, Bellow＇s concept of nature adopted in this novel is an expression of transcendental notion of nature. Secondly, in Henderson the Rain King Bellow also inherits the legacy of American transcendentalism as the emphasis of spirit or the oversoul. Thirdly, Bellow values individuality as highly as his literary predecessor Emerson did, however, in this novel he discards individualism. As Bellow＇s first mature novel, Henderson the Rain King reflects Bellow＇s attitude toward the tradition of American Transcendentalism： acceptance and surpass.
