Book Description
Excerpt from Masters of Literature, Emerson Criticism is te-born with every generation, and in biography not less than in the domain of pure ideas will find new points of view on old topics. So it is that great men, like great stars, appear and te-appear, not, indeed, in regular procession, but as now one, now another represents a motif to which the mind of the age most deeply responds and though the greatest are like what we call the fixed stars, less variable, new eyes with new instruments will find perpetually in them fresh meaning. The best available estimate of Ralph Waldo Emerson - Lord Morley's - is now twenty seven years old, and it already fails in some degree to meet the needs of the youth of our own day, or, as they would say, to do full justice to its subject. When time has wrought changes of fashion, mental and social, the critic serves a useful turn in giving a poet or a teacher his true place, and in recovering ideas and points of view that are worth preserving. Inter pretation of this kind, thought the Morley of so long a quarter-century ago, Emerson cannot require. It is not, surely, any disrespect to this distinguished survivor of Victorian criticism to feel that the deep changes of mental as well as social fashion which have, in fact, been wrought in this period must modify more than one of his conclusions. The Victorian era is at an end; its giants, who exercised their wits by placing each other, lie dead together. We look at them from a different level, still too often through inherited glasses.

Book Description
Excerpt from American Prose Masters: Cooper Hawthorne Emerson Poe Lowell Henry James The literary standard of his countrymen is undoubt edly far higher than it was in Cooper's own day. No writer at present With a tenth of his ability would com mit his literary faults - faults for Which the standard of his day is largely responsible, since it was oblivious to them and since they are precisely those which any Widely accepted standard would automatically correct. In other words, Cooper wrote as well as, and builded better than, any one required of him - and though genius, ao: hypothesi, escapes the operation of evolutionary law, literary or any other artistic expression is almost as much a matter of supply and demand as railroads or any other means of communication; the demand, that is, produces, controls, and gives its character to the supply. The theory that art is due to artists leaves the origin of artists unexplained. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Emerson Like bees being ever on the wing. For the poet was a thing light winged ahakfacred, unable to com pofe until he became infpired, and the imagination was no longer under his control. For as long as he was in complete pofibfiion of it, he was unable to compofe verfes or to fpeak oracu larly. And hence all noble numbers were credited by them, not to the poet whom they knew, but to the Power working in and through him, and mak ing him the mof't delighted of auditors whenever he chanted his verfes; be caufe he did not conceive them to be his. He was the Voice the favored of the Nine. Hence the value theyfet upon difcipline as the means of poetic divination. The poet, they conceived, muf'c be molt Virtuous. It was effential to his accomplifhment that he be chafie, that he be gentle, that he be noble in his generation, that his endowment be older than himfelf, that he defcend from a race of pure fouls; bring centuries'of culture in his defcent among men, ideas' of ages in his brain, /enabling him to conceive by infiinét, fpeak his expe riences unconfcioufly as a child opens his lips, in his molt rapturous accents. Therefore, any pretence of ownerlhip in the gift was ef'teemed an impiety. For a prayer, a fong, a tender tone, a glance of.

Book Description
The award-winning Beneath the American Renaissance is a classic work on American literature. It immeasurably broadens our knowledge of our most important literary period, as first identified by F.O. Matthiessen's American Renaissance. With its combination of sharp critical insight, engaging observation, and narrative drive, it represents the kind of masterful cultural history for which David Reynolds is known. Here the major works of Emerson, Thoreau, Whitman, Poe, Hawthorne, Melville, and Dickinson receive striking, original readings set against the rich backdrop of contemporary popular writing. Now back in print, the volume includes a new foreword by historian Sean Wilentz that reveals the book's impact and influence. A magisterial work of criticism and cultural history, Beneath the American Renaissance will fascinate anyone interested in the genesis of America's most significant literary epoch and the iconic figures who defined it.

Book Description
"Society and Solitude, published in 1870, was the first collection of essays Ralph Waldo Emerson had put into press since The Conduct of Life ten years earlier. Of the twelve essays included in the volume, he had previously published seven in whole or in part: "Society and Solitude," "Civilization," "Art," "Eloquence," "Domestic Life," "Books," and "Old Age." Emerson added five previously unpublished lectures or essays, "Works and Days," "Clubs," "Courage," "Success," and "Farming." This edition is based on Emerson's holograph manuscripts and published sources. The text incorporates corrections and revisions he recorded in both sources, and thus restores for the reader the text he actually wrote. Although he is still visibly the insistent optimist of his early and middle career, here Emerson assumes a more pragmatic attitude than formerly toward the life of the mind and the imagination. Society and Solitude captures the penultimate expression of Emersonian Transcendentalism and Romanticism."--Publisher's website.

Book Description
Excerpt from Emerson: His Life and Writings That is always best which gives me to myself. The sublime is excited in me by the great Stoical doctrine, Obey thyself.' That which shows God in me fortifies me. That which shows God out of me makes me a wart and a wen. There is no longer a necessary reason for my being. Already the long shadows of untimely oblivion creep over me, and I shall decease for ever. By his holy thoughts Jesus serves us, and thus only. To aim to convert aman by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion a true Christ is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments. It is true that a great and rich soul like his, falling among the simple, does so preponderate, ' that, as his did, it moves the world.
