In this study that changed the nature of Emerson studies, Gougeon draws on a huge array of primary documents -- unpublished speeches, the correspondence of abolitionists, family papers, records of abolition society meetings, and more -- to trace the development of Emerson's personal thought and public reaction to the social crises that sprang from the slavery issue. Gougeon shows conclusively that the New England transcendentalist not only philosophized about reform but was actively immersed in it.
