Emerson among the Eccentrics: A Group Portrait Hardcover – Import, 1 April 1996

This is a detailed, yet broad group biography of Emerson's literary circle. Illuminating it its interconnections, with personal details often left out of biographies of the singular individuals, this ambitious collective study, nonetheless, gives the reader a good understanding of Emerson's life and the personalities that he shared influential relationships with.

It is perhaps the best thing I have read regarding Emerson in the context of his friends.I recommend it to everyone and anyone.I also recommend the 30 lectures on CD about Transcendentalism by the professor from Dickinson College, whose name I don't recall.Bruce ByrollyCambridge MDDec. 1, 2010

I'm an Emerson fan so I liked it for its unique perspective.

Used for research. Thank you!

Outstanding
