It takes the unique approach of coupling a generous sampling of his essential writings (essays, poems, lectures, and addresses) with a discussion of the biographical and historical circumstances from which they arose. Emerson's essay \"Experience\" and his poem \"Threnody,\" for example, are far more approachable when they are directly connected to the untimely and tragic death of his infant son, Waldo. His essay \"Politics\" can be more easily understood in the context of his crusade against slavery. In presenting Emerson in his private as well as his public roles as husband, father, friend, and citizen, it is possible to trace the thread of his experience through the fabric of his thought. The second goal of this book is to indicate how Emerson's timeless wisdom can serve readers today in discovering spiritual truth, developing self-reliance, dealing with bereavement and loss, experiencing both personal love and cosmic love, achieving worldly success, and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ralph Waldo Emerson, Len Gougeon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0615348459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780615348452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e American Transcendental Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/03\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.79d","brand":"Ralph Waldo Emerson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44321211678975,"sku":"9780615348452","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_58a93fb6-4c08-478c-9fa2-b4805322f26a.jpg?v=1696329705","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/emersons-truth-emersons-wisdom-ralph-waldo-emerson-9780615348452","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
