Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The final volume of the Harvard edition presents the journals of Ralph Waldo Emerson's last years. In them, he reacts to the changing America of the postCivil War years, commenting on Reconstruction, immigration, protectionism in trade, and the dangers of huge fortunes in few hands-as well as on baseball and the possibilities of air travel. His role as a Harvard Overseer evokes his thoughts on education during crucial years of reform in American universities.His travels take him to Europe for the third time, and for the first time he encounters the new garden of California and the enigma of Egypt. He continues to lecture, and a second volume of poems and two more collections of essays, culled from his manuscripts, are published. Finally, his late journals show Emerson confronting his loss of creative vigor, husbanding his powers, and maintaining his equanimity in the face of decline.This concluding volume thus gives a complex picture of Emerson in his last sixteen years, facing old age but still the advocate of "newness" throughout the world. The final volume of the Harvard edition presents the journals of Emersons last years. In them, he reacts to the changing America of the postCivil War years, commenting on Reconstruction, immigration, protectionism in trade, and the dangers of huge fortunes in few handsas well as on baseball and the possibilities of air travel.
