Christopher Pearse Cranch Books Overview

The Last of the Huggermuggers

Christopher Pearse Cranch 1813 1892 was an American writer and artist. He attended Columbian College and Harvard Divinity School and briefly held a position as a Unitarian minister. However, his involvement with the transcendentalist school diminished the demand for his services. He edited for a time a Transcendentalist publication, and was a member of the Transcendental Club. His caricatures of Ralph Waldo Emerson were later collected as Illustrations of the New Philosophy: Guide 1835. He resided mostly in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Later, he pursued various occupations: a magazine editor, caricaturist, children’s fantasy writer the Huggermugger books, poet The Bird and the Bell with Other Poems in 1875, translator, and landscape painter. As a painter, Cranch painted landscapes along the lines of Thomas Cole, the Hudson River school, and the Barbazon School in France. In one foray into historical painting, Cranch depicted the burning of P. T. Barnum’s American Museum in New York City. Later in life, Cranch painted scenes from Venice and Italy. His other works include: Poems 1844, The Last of the Huggermuggers 1856, Kobboltozo 1857, Satan: A Libretto 1874 and Ariel and Caliban with Other Poems 1887.
