Summary

Interest abounds in the work of the Transcendentalists, such as Emerson, Thoreau, and Bronson Alcott. But few appreciate the truly mystical and contemplative qualities of the Transcendentalists, and the spiritual movements and figures they have inspired. As Richard G. Geldard-one of today's leading scholars of Emerson-illustrates in The Essential Transcendentalists, Transcendentalism offers the individual seeker a coherent and practical means to guide inner development. Through revealing commentary, historical overview, and substantial selections from classic works, The Essential Transcendentalists provides a distinctive and heretofore neglected examination of the spiritual breadth and depth of Transcendentalism.
