Description: Emerson and the Art of the Diary by Lawrence Rosenwald Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The book's argument begins with sharp refutation of common fallacies about journals and diaries generally, thus establishing a set of requirements for the study of any diary. Publisher Description This first extended literary description and analysis of Emersons journals, argues that they, and not his essays, are Emersons masterpiece, constituting one of the greatest commentaries on nineteenth-century America by one of our most acute formal intelligences. First developing the critical methodology needed to examine the journal form, a genre long neglected by literary scholars, Rosenwald goes on to consider how Emerson the diarist found his form and whatform he found. Included are comparisons between the journals and Emersons lectures and essays, other Transcendentalist journals, the German aphorism-book, and books of quotation by Montaigne andEckermann. Finally, the author gives an account of how, in his old age, Emerson lost his mastery of the form.
