Whicher's book aims to be a complement to the painstakingly researched outer life of Emerson by focusing on the great sage's inner life--not just his intellectual biography but the very nature of his thinking. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhicher stresses the life of \"spectator-ship\" that the young Emerson, perpetually ill as he turned out to be, was condemned to. His writings, especially his private thoughts recorded in his journals, document the ebb and flow of his spirit, alternatively listless and resolute.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen E.
