Author Talk: Glad to the Brink of Fear: A Portrait of Ralph Waldo Emerson, by James Marcus

Wed Nov 19 , 6:30 – 8:30 pm

Hosted by Unitarian Society of New Haven
Details Biographer James Marcus will speak about his recent biography of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Rev. Stephen Kendrick says of this engaging biography, James Marcus has written the best book on Emerson in fifty years, helping us see past the old prophet of self-reliance to a more rounded vision of Emerson as a social reformer, a radical commentator on American values, and visionary poet.” Glad to the Brink of Fear speaks to our modern engagements with fate and freedom, race and inequality, love and grief. 
There will be time for questions and signed copies of the book available.
