This book introduces Ralph Waldo Emerson's Transcendental
philosophy to a modern reader. It takes the unique approach of
coupling a generous sampling of his essential writings (essays,
poems, lectures, and addresses) with a discussion of the
biographical and historical circumstances from which they arose.
Emerson's essay "Experience" and his poem "Threnody," for example,
are far more approachable when they are directly connected to the
untimely and tragic death of his infant son, Waldo. His essay
"Politics" can be more easily understood in the context of his
crusade against slavery. In presenting Emerson in his private as
well as his public roles as husband, father, friend, and citizen,
it is possible to trace the thread of his experience through the
fabric of his thought. The second goal of this book is to indicate
how Emerson's timeless wisdom can serve readers today in
discovering spiritual truth, developing self-reliance, dealing with
bereavement and loss, experiencing both personal love and cosmic
love, achieving worldly success, and more.
