Habich1st ed.Iowa City University of Iowa Press20111 online resource (217 p.)Description based upon print version of record.9781587299629 1587299623 Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction: building their own Waldos -- A genre in transition: biography in the 1880s -- An act of wholesome and pure-hearted admiration: Emerson's first biographer, George Willis Cooke -- Biographers and the pornographer: Conway, Ireland, and "Emerson and his friends" -- Diagnosing the gentle iconoclast: Dr. Holmes on Emerson -- Authorizing Emerson's biography: Cabot and/or Edward Emerson -- Shelf life: the legacy of Emerson's first biographies.By the end of the nineteenth century, Ralph Waldo Emerson was well on his way to becoming the "Wisest American" and the "Sage of Concord," a literary celebrity and a national icon. With that fame came what Robert Habich describes as a blandly sanctified version of Emerson held widely by the reading public. Building Their Own Waldos sets out to understand the dilemma faced by Emerson's early biographers: how to represent a figure whose subversive individualism had been eclipsed by his celebrity, making him less a representative of his age than a caricature of it.Authors, AmericanBiographyHistory and criticismAmerican prose literatureHistory and criticismBiography as a literary formAuthors, AmericanBiographyHistory and criticism.American prose literatureHistory and criticism.Biography as a literary form.814/.3B814.3Habich Robert D.1951-1812842MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910966055103321Building their own Waldos4365457UNINA
