The Heart of Emerson's Journals is a book published in 1914 by Bliss Perry. The book is a compilation of selected entries from Ralph Waldo Emerson's personal journals, spanning over a period of fifty years. The entries have been carefully chosen to provide readers with an insight into the mind and heart of one of America's greatest thinkers.The book is divided into four parts, each covering a significant period in Emerson's life. Part one covers the years 1820-1832, when Emerson was a young man and a student at Harvard College. Part two covers the years 1833-1848, during which time Emerson became a renowned lecturer and essayist. Part three covers the years 1849-1860, when Emerson experienced personal tragedy and loss, including the death of his son. Part four covers the years 1861-1879, during which time Emerson continued to write and lecture, despite failing health.The entries in The Heart of Emerson's Journals cover a wide range of topics, including philosophy, literature, nature, religion, and personal reflections. They reveal Emerson's thoughts on a variety of subjects, from the meaning of life to the importance of self-reliance. The book provides readers with a unique perspective on Emerson's life and work, and is a must-read for anyone interested in American literature and philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
