Excerpt from Emerson at Home and Abroad At last the day came when I stood at the door of Emerson. I had entered the Divinity College at Cam bridge, and carried a letter from one of his friends; but I was nervous, and it was some relief to hear he was not at home. His little daughter and son, how ever, brought me an invitation from Mrs. Emerson to return soon, and meantime they took me on a beautiful walk, - a walk amid apple trees, where we sat and told tales in a lovely Lost Bower. I was taken to Emerson by his children and gave him my note of introduction. He remembered, and said, Surely you are my Virginian correspondent. With that he extended his hand and welcomed me with a smile his smile, not to be lightly lost by one it has warmed. For me, who never before had seen a great man, who yet in my minority was cut off from every relative and had alienated every early friend, this wel coming word and smile was the break of a new day. I could not answer. Many years after I read that one in paradise was asked how he got there and replied, One day as Buddha passed by he smiled upon me. Twenty-eight years later, on that spot where I first met Emerson I parted from him to see him no more. It was with the old grasp of hand, and with that smile on his face to win which would at any time have meant to me success. It is before me now, and shall not be changed to a frown by any sentence in this little book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
“The fifteen essays on Emerson, reprinted here, were published inAmerican Literaturefrom 1937 to 1986 and reveal the continuity of that journal’s interest in studies of literary influence, textual scholarship, and intellectual history. As this volume reveals, its editorial standards for scholarship have contributed to the publication of essays that have endured the winds of fashion.”—Choice
In this novel about Ralph Waldo Emerson's wife, Lidian, Amy Belding Brown examines the emotional landscape of love and marriage. Living in the shadow of one of the most famous men of her time, Lidian becomes deeply disappointed by marriage, but consigned to public silence by social conventions and concern for her family's reputation. Drawn to the erotic energy and intellect of close family friend Henry David Thoreau, she struggles to negotiate the confusing territory between love and friendship while maintaining her moral authority and inner strength. In the course of the book, she deals with overwhelming social demands, faces devastating personal loss, and discovers the deepest meaning of love. Lidian eventually encounters the truth of her own character and learns that even our faults can lead us to independence.
A portrait of five Concord, Massachusetts, writers whose works were at the center of mid-nineteenth-century American thought and literature evaluates their interconnected relationships, influence on each other's works, and complex beliefs.
