"This collection of newly commissioned essays maps the vital contextual backgrounds
to Ralph Waldo Emerson's life and work. The volume begins with a detailed chronology
of Emerson's life and publishing history, setting the stage for a wide-ranging discussion
of his geographic and environmental contexts from early and later life, including
his travels and intellectual encounters with the United States, Europe, and Asia.
It goes on to survey the intellectual terrain of the nineteenth century, exploring
Emerson's relationship with key philosophical, aesthetic, theological, scientific,
familial, social, and political contexts and issues. Finally, it assesses the popular
and critical receptions that have solidified Emerson's legacy as a towering figure
in American literature, criticism, and culture today. Fans, students, and scholars
will turn to this reference time and again for a fuller understanding of this seminal
American writer."--Inside jacket
