内容説明

Much has been written about Henry David Thoreau and Walt Whitman as prominent writers, but much less research has been done regarding their spirituality, which made the writing of their classics unique. This is an award-winning study focusing on the mysticism in the lives and major works of Thoreau and Whitman, two great American literary mystics of the 19th century. Find out: How their principal works were inspired by their spiritual revelations and struggles; What the deeper meanings are in key passages from Thoreau's classic, "Walden"; and Whitman's ground-breaking poem, "Song of Myself"; How their spirituality reflected their very different personalities and characters. By understanding the wisdom and strengths as well as the faults, and failings of these great men of letters, we can know ourselves better.
