Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Emerson Brothers: A Fraternal Biography in Letters is a narrative and epistolary biography drawn from the unpublished lifelong correspondence exchanged among four brothers: Charles Chauncy, Edward Bliss, Ralph Waldo, and William Emerson. This is an extensive correspondence, for not counting Waldo's previously published letters, there are 768 letters exchanged among the brothers and an additional 483 unpublished letters from the brothers to their aunt Mary Moody Emerson, mother Ruth Haskins Emerson, and Charles' fiancee Elizabeth Hoar, among others.While lesser figures might have faltered under the burden of having been born an Emerson, with social, political, and ecclesiastic roots extending back to the first century of New England settlement, the brothers' letters reveal that all were invigorated by a shared sense of origin and aspired to make a significant reputation for themselves. Across six richly developed chapters, the signal events and friendships that shaped the Emerson brothers' lives are strung together to reveal a remarkable family culture. For the first time, The Emerson Brothers treats the illustrious history of the Emerson family in America as a foreshadowing of expectations the brothers inherited; defines the extent of Waldo's debt to William for his encounter with German Biblical Criticism; develops Charles' and Edward's incredibly promising but ultimately tragic lives; examines the profound emotional and intellectual impact of Aunt Mary on the younger Emersons; considers the three-year courtship between Charles and Elizabeth Hoar in the context of Waldo's own marriages; and studies the brothers' preoccupation with financial security for "the family" (revealing, too, that finances were at least as powerful a motivation behind Waldo's 1832 resignation from Boston's Second Church as were the death of his first wife and his religious doubts).This biography approaches Waldo's inner life in a way that makes him a figure to imagine personally by portraying him in relation to his brothers who are his intellectual equals. It offers an imaginative social and cultural history of one of our oldest and most gifted families, unique players in a period often considered to be the "American Renaissance."

Download or read book MAY DAY AND OTHER PIECES written by RALPH WALDO EMERSON and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2024-01-01 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "May-Day and Other Pieces" is a collection of poems and articles by Ralph Waldo Emerson, an important American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist. This collection, which came out in the middle of the 1800s, shows Emerson's deep understanding of nature, society, and the human spirit. Emerson's transcendentalist theory, which stresses how humans are connected to the natural world, is reflected in the poem "May-Day," which is about the changing of the seasons and the beginning of a new life. There are also other beautiful pieces in the series in which Emerson writes about things like independence, freedom, and the power of nature to change things. The philosophical depth, beautiful writing, and celebration of the divine nature in both nature and the human soul are what make Emerson's essays and songs in this collection stand out. Emerson wants his readers to think about their own place in the big picture of life by looking at the beauty and meaning in the things around them. "May-Day and Other Pieces" shows Emerson's lasting influence on American literature and thought. It gives readers a glimpse into his transcendentalist vision and shows how he used writing to encourage people to think and find themselves.

Book excerpt: In this original and fascinating book, Peter S. Field argues that Ralph Waldo Emerson is America's first democratic intellectual. Field contends that Emerson was a democrat in two senses: his writings are imbued with an optimistic, confident ethos, and more importantly, he acted the part of the democrat by bringing culture to all Americans. In Ralph Waldo Emerson, Field connects Emerson and his remarkable creativity to the key political issue of the day: the nature of democracy and the role of intellectuals within a democratic society.
