Description
Ralph Waldo Emerson was one of the most influential figures in American thought and literature. This biography presents an Emerson who is both familiar and unexpected, revealing a complex individual with a rich inner life. Through a vast array of new material, including correspondence among the Emerson brothers, Robert D. Richardson Jr. brings to life a young suitor, a grief-stricken widower, an affectionate father, and a man with an abiding genius for friendship. This is not just a study of Emerson's writing and influence, but his life as he experienced it. Emerson's ideas about individualism, self-reliance, and the interconnectedness of literature and science continue to resonate today, making him a fascinating subject for anyone interested in American intellectual history.
