Discover the profound insights of Ralph Waldo Emerson in 'Glad to the Brink of Fear,' a captivating exploration of his life and legacy. This trade paperback edition, published by Princeton University Press in 2024, challenges the conventional view of Emerson as merely a prophet of self-reliance. Instead, it paints a complex portrait of a man deeply invested in the struggles of justice, philosophy, and the human experience. James Marcus delves into Emerson's relationships with fellow thinkers like Henry David Thoreau and Margaret Fuller, illustrating how these connections shaped his transcendentalist views. Readers will uncover Emerson's evolution from a reclusive theorist to an outspoken abolitionist, as the pressing issue of slavery ignited his passion for social change. Through a rich selection of essays like 'Self-Reliance' and 'Experience,' this book not only highlights Emerson's literary genius but also resonates with contemporary themes of fate, freedom, and inequality. 'Glad to the Brink of Fear' is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how Emerson’s legacy continues to inspire curiosity about our world.Shipping Notes

Can't get past the art
Format: Hardcover
I bought this book blind, knowing nothing about the creators and with no expectations. While I thought the story was interesting and generally well-executed, sometimes the intrusion of the writer's thoughts, the attempts to break the fourth wall, and the wink-wink, nudge-nudge gags at the fans grow tiresome.
But the writing is the strength compared to the art, which in my opinion is poor at best. The artist lacks anatomical skills, perspective skills -- the art almost never fills the frame. The splash pages are underwhelming because the figures are so small. Even the parts of the story that are supposed to be "cartoony" (the 5th dimension), which might better fit this artist's abilities, don't work.
I really feel this could have been a significantly better product with a different artist.
