内容説明

There is no question that Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) has maintained his place as one of the seminal figures in American history and literature. His poetic legacy, education ideals, and religious concepts are integral to the formation of American intellectual life, and scholarly interest in him continues unabated. Myerson has over the course of two decades made himself the most authoritative, respected, and prolific scholar working in this important period. His volume gathers essays that discuss biographical details of Emerson's life as well as women's rights, slavery, transcendentalism, and religion.

内容説明

There is no question that Emerson has maintained his place as one of the seminal figures in American history and literature. In his time, he was the acknowledged leader of the Transcendentalist movement and his poetic legacy, education ideals, and religious concepts are integral to the formation of American intellectual life. In this volume, Joel Myerson, one of the leading experts on this period, has gathered together sparkling new essays that discuss Emerson as a product of his times. Individual chapters provide an extended biographical study of Emerson and his effect on American life, followed by studies of his concept of individualism, nature and natural science, religion, antislavery, and women's rights.
