Stephen Whicher's Freedom and Fate begins with a tribute to Ralph
Rusk's monumental biography The Life of Ralph Waldo Emerson,
acknowledging its supremacy as a factual telling of Emerson's life
that cannot be surpassed. Whicher's book aims to be a complement to
the painstakingly researched outer life of Emerson by focusing on
the great sage's inner life-not just his intellectual biography but
the very nature of his thinking. Whicher stresses the life of
"spectator-ship" that the young Emerson, perpetually ill as he
turned out to be, was condemned to. His writings, especially his
private thoughts recorded in his journals, document the ebb and
flow of his spirit, alternatively listless and resolute.
