Sommario/riassunto |
|
Born into the age of inspired amateurism that emerged from the ruins of pre-revolutionary political, religious and cultural institutions, Ralph Waldo Emerson took up the challenge of thinking about the role of the United States alone and in the world. This work examines his accomplishments and influence. |
