The Correspondence of Thomas Carlyle and Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1834-1872, Vol. I

"The Correspondence of Thomas Carlyle and Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1834-1872, Vol. I" is a collection of letters written between 1834 and 1873. This remarkable exchange between two literary giants spans nearly four decades, beginning with their first meeting at a remote Scottish farmhouse. The letters chronicle their deep intellectual bond, collaborative publishing ventures, and evolving friendship across an ocean. Political differences—particularly regarding the American Civil War—test their connection, yet their mutual respect endures. These intimate documents reveal the personal struggles, philosophical debates, and profound affection between two of the nineteenth century's most influential thinkers.
