内容説明・目次
内容説明
A compilation of the best essays written by the father of transcendentalism, with selections from Emerson's lectures on history, art, politics, and more
In the words of Harold Bloom, "Emerson's prose is his triumph, both as eloquence and as insight. After Shakespeare, it matches anything else in the language." Here are Ralph Waldo Emerson's classic essays, including the exhortation to "Self-Reliance," the embattled realizations of "Circles" and "Experience," and the groundbreaking achievement of "Nature." Our most eloquent champion of individualism, Emerson acknowledges at the same time the countervailing pressures of society in American life. Even as he extols what he calls "the great and crescive self," he dramatizes and records its vicissitudes. Also gathered here are his wide-ranging discourses on history, art, politics, friendship, love, and much more.
