"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 Emerson added five previously unpublished lectures or essays, "Works and Days," "Clubs," "Courage," "Success," and "Farming."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.

Society and Solitude is a classic essay collection by the great American philosopher and essayist, Ralph Waldo Emerson. This essay collection compiles twelve of Emerson's finest essays and includes the following works: Society and solitude -- Civilization -- Art -- Eloquence -- Domestic life -- Farming -- Works and days -- Books -- Clubs -- Courage -- Success -- Old age. This great American essays collection contains the following excerpt: I fell in with a humorist, on my travels, who had in his chamber a cast of the Rondanini Medusa, and who assured me that the name which that fine work of art bore in the catalogues was a misnomer, as he was convinced that the sculptor who carved it intended it for Memory, the mother of the Muses. In the conversation that followed, my new friend made some extraordinary confessions. 'Do you not see, ' he said, 'the penalty of learning, and that each of these scholars whom you have met at S-----, though he were to be the last man, would, like the executioner in Hood's poem, guillotine the last but one?' He added many lively remarks, but his evident earnestness engaged my attention, and, in the weeks that followed, we became better acquainted

Excerpt from Society Solitude Other Essays Emerson reappears, in this volume of Society and Solitude and other essays and lectures, after a rather momentous interval, during which America had put to the test of war some of its noblest ideas. The Civil War helps indeed to account for a long gap of full ten years in the actual succession of his prose books, although he had not been idle either as citizen of the republic, or as an earnest lay preacher and remonstrant in the time of the national ferment. In May 1859, he had heard John Brown speak in Concord Town Hall. In the following March, he had lectured in Canada. He was mobbed, in January 1861, with Lloyd Garrison because of his stand for liberty; in the July of that year he spoke upon War to the students of Tufts College. In November he lectured at Boston on "American Nationality;" and in the opening of 1862 on "American Civilisation" at Washington, when Abraham Lincoln was present. The right preamble to these stirring events is his Discourse on the history of his beloved Concord delivered some twenty-six years before the civil war broke out; in which he spoke of the War of American Independence, having before him some of the veterans who had fought in it. He praised them, then, because they had gone, with the other heroism of peace, back from the field of battle to the New England cornfields. The sequel in the same Concord records and memorials is the address he gave at the Dedication of the Soldiers' Monument in April 1867, held in a double anniversary. It was built, he said, with a touch of the civil virtue that underlay all his discourses and writings in America, to mark the arrival of the nation at a new principle, namely, that " only that state can live in which injury to the least member is recognised as damage to the whole."
