  • "Philosophe et poète, Emerson (1803-1882) fut le chef de file du mouvement transcendantaliste. Il fut le maître de Thoreau et, plus largement, le plus éminent représentant d'une tradition américaine de recherche de l'harmonie entre l'homme et la nature. Envisageant les différents territoires de l'existence (la vieillesse, la vie domestique...), Société et solitude propose les fondements d'une véritable sagesse moderne."

  • ""Society and Solitude" is considered by many to be Emerson's last great work. The essays contained here are based on a series of lectures he delivered while touring the country. They cover a wide range of subjects but display all of Emerson's characteristic themes: the power of the individual, the oppressive effects of authority and the necessity of the spirit. They also reflect on an American landscape that was just five years removed from the Civil War."@en
  • ""Society and Solitude, published in 1870, was the first collection of essays Ralph Waldo Emerson had put into press since The Conduct of Life ten years earlier. Of the twelve essays included in the volume, he had previously published seven in whole or in part: "Society and Solitude," "Civilization," "Art," "Eloquence," "Domestic Life," "Books," and "Old Age." Emerson added five previously unpublished lectures or essays, "Works and Days," "Clubs," "Courage," "Success," and "Farming." This edition is based on Emerson's holograph manuscripts and published sources. The text incorporates corrections and revisions he recorded in both sources, and thus restores for the reader the text he actually wrote. Although he is still visibly the insistent optimist of his early and middle career, here Emerson assumes a more pragmatic attitude than formerly toward the life of the mind and the imagination. Society and Solitude captures the penultimate expression of Emersonian Transcendentalism and Romanticism."--Publisher's website."
