Mary Moody Emerson and the Origins of Transcendentalism - A Family History (Hardcover)

Mary Moody Emerson has long been a New England legend, the "eccentric" aunt of Ralph Waldo Emerson. This major new study, based on the first reading of all her known letters and diaries, reveals a complex human voice and powerful forerunner of Transcendentalism. Diverting her ancestors' fervent religion into the celebration of solitude, nature, and imagination, she explored new ground as a woman writer and crucially set the terms for her nephew's thought.
