        			&quot;Richardson&apos;s rich and extensive book on Ralph Waldo Emerson is a guide to the fire that burned always at the center of Emerson&apos;s life. . . . To read this book is to be touched on the shoulder by a thousand years of poetry and thought. . . . For those who would understand Emerson, it is unforgettable; it is essential.&quot;&#x2014;Mary Oliver, Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry&quot;Emerson himself would surely have applauded Robert Richardson&apos;s monumental study, which treats the sage&apos;s thought not as a set of coldly reasoned propositions but as the continually shifting outcome of a struggle to surmount crisis and tragedy. In the process, Richardson has fashioned our most credible portrait of a vulnerable, driven, fully human Emerson.&quot;&#x2014;Frederick Crews, author of The Sins of the Father&quot;The best biography I have read in years. Mr. Richardson is just the splendid writer Emerson has long deserved, and he makes the story great-hearted, inclusive, intellectual, and inspiring. I was enthralled.&quot;&#x2014;Edward Hoagland&quot;A superb work . . . that will quickly come to be regarded as the definitive biography of Emerson. . . . Richardson&apos;s greatest achievement is to restore for us the emotional and passionate element of Emerson&apos;s life and personality, and to make us understand how significant an element that was. . . . He brings a very complex and interesting man&#x2014;not just a thinker&#x2014;to life.&quot;&#x2014;David M. Robinson, author of Emerson and the Conduct of Life&quot;Scholars and general readers alike will return to this comprehensive and painstaking study for a long time to come.&quot;&#x2014;Joel Porte, editor of Emerson&apos;s Essays&quot;The most readable biography of Emerson ever written and also one of the best from a scholarly standpoint.&quot;&#x2014;Lawrence Buell, Harvard University&quot;In this magnificent study Emerson stands before us not only as the embodiment of his &apos;American Scholar&apos; but also as a human mind. Richardson&apos;s Emerson is one whom we want to reread, but, more important, also whom we want to know as a friend and mentor.&quot;&#x2014;Philip F. Gura
