Hardback. Condizione: Good. When Emerson died in 1882 he was the most famous public intellectual in America. Yet his most remarkable literary creation--his journals--remained unpublished. Begun when he was a precocious Harvard junior of 16 and continued without significant lapse for almost 60 years, Emerson's journals were his life's work. They were the starting point for virtually everything in his celebrated essays, lectures, and poems; a "Savings Bank," in which his occasional insights began to cohere and yield interest; a commonplace book, in which he gathered the choicest anecdotes, ideas, and phrases from his voracious and wide-ranging reading; and a fascinating diary in the ordinary sense of the term. It would be a hundred years after his death before these intimate records would appear in print in their entirety, and they are still, at over three million words, among the least known and least available of Emerson's writings. The journals reveal what Emerson called "the infinitude of the private man"-by turns whimsical, incisive, passionate, curious, and candid-in astonishing new ways. With Selected Journals 1841-1877 and its companion volume Selected Journals 1820-1842, The Library of America presents the most ample and comprehensive nonspecialist edition of Emerson's great work ever published-one that retains the original order in which he composed his thoughts and preserves the dramatic range of his unique style in long, uninterrupted passages, but without the daunting critical apparatus of the 16-volume scholarly edition. Each volume includes a 16-page portfolio of images of Emerson and his contemporaries, a note on the selections, extensive notes, biographical sketches, a chronology, and an index. This volume opens with an Emerson at the height of his powers, soon to write his celebrated essays "Experience" and "Self-Reliance," and in the midst of a vibrant intellectual circle. It follows his anguished reactions to the nation's intensifying political turmoil: his anger at the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850, his antislavery activism, and his day- to-day experience of the Civil War (including a wartime trip to Washington, D.C., where he met President Lincoln).LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation?s literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America?s best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries. …

Hardback. Condizione: Fair. A powerfulcollection of essential American antiwar writings, from the Revolution to the war on terror-featuring over 150 eloquent, provocative voices for peace Library of America presents an unprecedented tribute to a great American literary tradition.War has been a reality of the American experience from the founding of the nation and in every generation therehave been dedicated and passionate visionaries who have responded to this reality with vital calls for peace.Spanning from the American Revolution to the war on terror, War No More gathers the essential texts of this uniquelyAmerican antiwar tradition in one volume for the first time. Classic expressions of conscience like Thoreau's seminal"Civil Disobedience" lay the groundwork for such influential modern theorists of nonviolence as DavidDellinger, Thomas Merton, and Barbara Deming. The long arc of the American antiwar movement is vividlytraced in the urgent appeals of activists, made in soaring oratory and galvanizing song, and in dramatic dispatchesfrom the front lines of antiwar protests. The voices of veterans, from the Civil War to the Iraq War, are prominentlyrepresented, as is the firsthand testimony of conscientious objectors. Contemporary writers-includingBarbara Kingsolver, Jonathan Schell, Nicholson Baker, and Jane Hirshfield-demonstrate the ongoing richnessof this literature in the years since September 11, 2001. Featuring more than 150 eloquent and provocativewriters in all, War No More is a bible for activists, a go-to resource for scholars and students, and an inspiringand fascinating story for every reader interested in the crosscurrents of war and peace in American history.

This volume begins with Emerson's first journal entry, on January 25, 1820, in a homemade booklet he titled The Wide World, and follows him through his early years at Harvard College and the Divinity School, his ordination as a Unitarian minister, his marriage to Ellen Tucker and her untimely death, his fateful decision to leave the ministry, and his travels in England and on the Continent. It offers an irreplaceable perspective on the intellectual currents of the day--the emergence of Transcendentalism; the furor over Emerson's "Divinity School Address"; the founding of The Dial; experiments in communal living at Fruitlands and Brook Farm--and intimate sketches of Emerson's friends and contemporaries, including Henry David Thoreau, Margaret Fuller, Thomas Carlyle, William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and others.
