Download or read book Emerson, Whitman, and the American Muse written by Jerome Loving and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Loving finds in the lives and works of the two writers a symbiosis of spirit that transcends the question of literary influence. Tracing the parallel careers of Emerson and Whitman, the author shows how each served his literary apprenticeship, moved beyond his vocation, prospered, and, finally, declined in his literary achievements. In both cases, Loving follows his subject from vision to wisdom and, along the way, examines the aspects of the relationship that have aroused controversy. Originally published in 1982.
