Book Description
The forty-five sermons collected in Volume 3 were composed and first delivered between October 1830 and November 1831. During that time Emerson's first wife, Ellen Tucker Emerson, died of tuberculosis, a loss that deeply affected Emerson. Transcribed and edited from manuscripts in Harvard's University's Houghton Library, the sermons are presented in a clear text approximating as nearly as possible the original version delivered to Emerson's congregation. As well as the detailed chronology, explanatory footnotes, and textual endnotes found in previous volumes, this one contains a comprehensive index.

Book Description
This book sets out to shed light on what is specific to American Transcendentalism by comparing it with the atheistic vision of German philosophers and theologians like Ludwig Feuerbach and Arthur Schopenhauer. The study argues that atheism was part of the discursive and religious context from which Transcendentalism emerged. Tendencies toward atheism were already inherent in Transcendentalist thought. The atheist scenario came to the surface in the controversy about Emerson's "new views." Contemporary critics charged that the deity Emerson worshipped was himself. Emersonian Transcendentalism thus anticipated some of the central concerns in the works of German atheists like Feuerbach. From idealism to atheism seemed but a short step.

Book Description
"One of the most significant men of letters in American history, Ralph Waldo Emerson was not only acquainted with the most prominent authors, reformers, and politicians of his day, but also had daily contact with such literary figures as Thoreau, Hawthorne, Margaret Fuller, and Bronson Alcott. Based on journals, correspondence, reminiscences, newspaper articles, and many other sources of information, this detailed chronology of the life of Emerson offers a daily accounting of what he read and wrote, where he traveled, who he saw, and his thoughts and opinions concerning the events and personalities of his day. All of his speeches are accounted for and, indeed, this volume provides the most complete and accurate record of his public appearances available. An Emerson Chronology is an important resource for students of nineteenth-century American literature, history, religion, and philosophy."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
