Publisher Description

This essay attempts to contribute to the current debate over Emerson's "dilemma" as a public intellectual increasingly, and somewhat reluctantly, drawn into what he himself calls "turmoils of the earth" in the essay "Experience." Synthesizing recent work by Len Gougeon, Stanley Cavell, T. Gregory Garvey, Gustaaf Van Cromphout, Eduardo Cadava, and others, "Emerson and the Refounding of America" intends to refocus attention on Emerson's concern for the refining of political rhetoric in the service of a reconstituted notion of "America" as an ideal polity. 1.
