Tells the connected stories of how these foundational American writers and thinkers dealt with personal tragedies early in their careers. For Emerson, it was the death of his young wife and, eleven years later, his five-year-old son. For Thoreau, it was the death of his brother. For James, it was the death of his beloved cousin Minnie Temple. This book shows how the writers' responses to these deaths helped spur them on to their greatest work, influencing the birth and course of American literature and philosophy.
