Glad to the Brink of Fear: A Portrait of Ralph Waldo Emerson - James Marcus

Our Price: $29.95

Product Code: 091254333

Ralph Waldo Emerson's reputation as the starry-eyed prophet of self-reliance has obscured a much more complicated figure who spent a lifetime wrestling with injustice, philosophy, art, desire, and suffering. This book introduces readers to this Emerson, a writer of self-interrogating genius whose visionary flights are always grounded in Yankee shrewdness.
