Lidian eventually encounters the truth of her own character and learns that even our faults can lead us to independence. In this novel about Ralph Waldo Emerson's wife, Lidian, Amy Belding Brown examines the emotional landscape of love and marriage.

But Stone's work contains much more historical information than does "Mr. Emerson's Wife. Told from "Lidian's" perspective entirely, the characters that surrounded Emerson and his movement are revealed as human beings with all their flaws.

I found this far better than "The Nightingale", which I also recently finished. The writing was much better, and the intricacies of the characters far more developed. Highly recommend.
I truly mourn the ending of this book. My New England roots are deep with blood lines tied to Lydians friends and acquaintances. I can hardly wait for my annual pilgrimage to MA to visit with these intriguing inhabitants of Authors Hill at the cemetery. One person found this helpful. Format: Paperback Verified Purchase. Good book! Coming from Europe I was not at all familiar with this important aspect of American history.
This book explains this period in an accurate historical way and added human touches which makes is easy to read. I do not like to give things away I am giving this to our daughter to read I enjoyed this book a lot but I like Historical fiction Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is hard to realize that Ms.

Brown's book - is fiction. Enchanting and real. I could be one of their neighbors - so often I felt like I was there with them in the parlor. I am a new fan of Ms.
Mr. Emerson's Wife : A Novel
She makes old cold hard reality - bearable. This is a great read for ANYONE, and a particularly great read for those who are interested in the leading figures of the Transcentalist movement in American Literature. It is obvious that Amy Belding Brown carefully culled the many letters and diaries of Emerson, Lidian Emerson, Thoreau, the Alcott family, Margaret Fuller, and others in creating her plot line and then used her imagination and reasoning to create dialogue and "fill in the blanks.
Caught somewhere between the passions of the revolution and the violent upheaval of the Civil War, the first half of the 19th century has always seemed a dark and shadowy place to me.
Amy Belding Brown is the perfect travel guide and escort to lead the reader through these years of natural philosophers and transcendentalists. Her characters are drawn brilliantly, and considering that some are of great historical stature she has worked bravely too. As a reader, I did not mind that Brown used poetic license because her insights, attention to details, and dialogues are amazing.
It's hard to believe that Brown did not transport herself back two hundred years to live among these Concordians. That's how "real" she makes them. Lidian Emerson is an unforgettable heroine. This book is also a page-turner and highly thought provoking--not to mention that I wept through the entire last chapter!
All in all, a very entertaining read!
I enjoyed this book very much. It was very interesting exploring the life of an intelligent witty woman who was both valued for those traits and prevented from embracing them because of the expectations of the time. Lidian is an interesting and well formed character as are Emerson and Thoreau. Well written and researched, I recommend it. See all reviews from the United States. Top international reviews. Verified Purchase. Am enjoying it very much!
Add to Cart Add to Wish List. Massachusetts Bay Colony, Even before Mary Rowlandson was captured by Indians on a winter day of violence and terror, she sometimes found herself in conflict with her rigid Puritan community. Now, her home destroyed, her children lost to her, she has been sold into the service of a powerful woman tribal leader, made a pawn in the ongoing bloody struggle between English settlers and native people.
Battling cold, hunger, and exhaustion, Mary witnesses harrowing brutality but also unexpected kindness. Finally, for the first time in Emerson chronologies, his life is seen in the widest possible context of national and international events.
Mr. Emerson's Wife
Milestone moments in his life appear side by side with notable national and international events as well as inventions, visually linking him with nineteenth-century America and in relation to both East and West. Chapters 1 and 2 are divided into two related parts. The first part explores mutual influences between Emerson and Europe.
The second does the same for Emerson and Asia. Within the framework of the Missouri Compromise of , he begins to explore his own attitudes toward race. Mott continues to track his changes through ongoing family relationships, a first marriage to Ellen Tucker ending in her early death, his resignation from the ministry, his continuing spiritual search, an early interest in science, a seminal trip to Europe, his early lectures, a move to Concord and his second marriage to Lydia Lidian Jackson, a woman who fast becomes an ardent abolitionist.
This discovery directs his emotional energies into lecturing, which vaults him to prominence as a leading intellectual at home and abroad.

Jean McClure Mudge freshly measures the permanent mark that his emphasis on reform had made upon his thinking, which now emphasizes ethics over metaphysics. A trip to California rejuvenates him, and his third and last tour of Europe helps cement his international reputation. But he wished his revolution of heart and mind to have the same high aim as our War for Independence: to establish a new order of well-being, not endless warfare, unrest and anarchy. Though imperfect, the Constitution had brought about that new order.
But our revolution was in the interest of the moral or anti-revolutionary. They warmly accepted my invitation to participate in this group conversation, willingly adjusted their chapters as they developed through many editing sessions, and stayed loyal to this project over several years see List of Contributors for more detail about each. From the start, she swiftly supported every request for photography and information about objects with unfailing patience and interest.
Carol L. Haines of the Concord Museum helped in producing several custom photographs of Emerson and Emerson-related objects. Other miscellaneous institutions are credited in the List of Illustrations. In addition, I am greatly indebted to cartographer Darin Jensen whose custom maps for the first time vividly portray important contextual information about Emerson: his Boston, Cambridge and Concord settings as well as his lecturing and travel itineraries in the U.
I am indebted to Jenkins, too, for making image-scanning arrangements. They helped with innumerable details of final manuscript preparation, formatting, illustrations, permissions, and, in general, introduced me to the novelty of digital publishing. I am indebted, too, to Ben Fried for his careful editing of the whole manuscript, questioning important matters of expression, meaning, and format. Corin Throsby has not only carefully executed the index, but also valuably caught a number of errors throughout the manuscript.
For both jobs, I warmly thank her. Reliable technical service was provided, too, by Bryan Woodhams in his careful formatting of the Chronology and in the electronic transmission of key images. Finally, I appreciate the generous subvention support for this book by the Ralph Waldo Emerson Society and by an anonymous Emerson scholar. If I have inadvertently missed mentioning anyone who is due thanks, I hope that their knowledge of participation and pleasure in this book will be some compensation.
