This book follows two interrelated themes along the arc of Emerson's
whole career. The dominant one examines his dramatic metamorphosis
from idealist philosopher to idealist-turned-activist for fundamental
social change while simultaneously fighting his biases against blacks and
women. This shift, with its hidden debates, affected him personally and
philosophically. It also enlarged him politically and socially, empowering
him to help alter the nation's psyche, its values, and eventually, its laws.
Emerson's growth into a reformer also arguably defined the climax of his
career, as his activism surely made tangible the power of applied American
Transcendentalism.
