Synopsis

Emerson est l'un des penseurs les plus influents de l'histoire américaine. Son transcendantalisme prêchait une communion étroite avec l'homme et la nature et est l'une des grandes philosophies affirmant la vie de tout âge. Society and Solitude fournit une illustration saillante de la pensée d'Emerson. En tant que l'un des architectes du mouvement transcendantaliste, Emerson a adopté une philosophie qui défendait l'individu, mettait l'accent sur la pensée indépendante et appréciait « le splendide labyrinthe de ses propres perceptions ». Plus que n'importe quel écrivain de son temps, il a forgé un style distinct de ses prédécesseurs européens et a incarné et défini ce que signifie être un Américain. Matthew Arnold a qualifié les essais d'Emerson « le travail le plus important fait en prose ».

« Je mijotais, mijotais, mijotais. Emerson m'a fait bouillir. »

--Walt Whitman

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

The sun set; but set not his hope :S tars rose ;his faith was ear Uer up :F ixed on the enormous galaxy. Deeper and older seemed his eye :A nd matched his sufferance sublime The taciturnity of time. He spoke, and words more soft than rain Brought the A ge of Gold again :H is action won such reverence sweet. As hid all measure of the feat. Work of his hand He nor commends nor grieves :P leads for itself the fact ;A sunrepenting Nature leaves Her every act.
