Synopsis

The Influence of Emerson is a book written by Edwin D. Mead that explores the impact of Ralph Waldo Emerson on American culture and society. The book delves into Emerson's philosophy and ideas, tracing their influence on literature, politics, religion, and social movements. Mead examines Emerson's role as a leader of the Transcendentalist movement, as well as his impact on the development of American democracy and individualism. The book also explores the controversies surrounding Emerson's ideas, including his views on race and slavery. Through a comprehensive analysis of Emerson's life and work, Mead offers a nuanced and insightful portrait of one of America's most influential thinkers.1903. These papers, touching a few of the many influences of Emerson, philosophical, religious, literary and political, have served as public addresses. Mr. Mead found that few studies of Emerson bring out his thought and attitude more clearly or impressively than these in which we view him in relation to Parker, with whom among religious teachers in his time his sympathies were closest, and to Carlyle, with whom his affinities and contrasts are equally striking and didactic. Contents: Philosophy of Emerson; Emerson and Theodore Parker; and Emerson and Carlyle.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

These papers, touching a few of the many influences of Emerson, philosophical, religious, literary, and political, have served, the last two many times, as public addresses. Parts of all of them are twenty years old, and all of them have grown in the years. Some parts have changed much more than others; and if they continued to lie on the table, answering calls, for some years yet, all might see greater changes still. I have found that fevu studies of Emerson bring out his thought and attitude more clearly or impressively than those in -which ive view him in relation to Parker, nvitb whom among religious teachers in his time his sympathies were closest, and to Carlyle, nvitb whom his affinities and contrasts are equally striking and didactic. There are doubtless repetitions in the papers here and there; and this, and much besides, their original character and purpose must excuse. They are brought together here, such as they are, in the hope that they may do their part, -with the many words that will be said in this centennial time, to prompt young men and women to such new companionship with Emerson as shall give them a larger portion of his idealism and lofty spirit in religion and philosophy and in the service of mankind.
