Summary

In "The Greatest Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson," the author presents a comprehensive compilation of his philosophical essays, poems, and lectures that articulate the core tenets of Transcendentalism. Emerson's literary style is marked by a profound use of metaphor and an affinity for nature, which reflects the Romantic period's emphasis on individuality and self-reliance. Through his writings, Emerson grapples with themes such as the importance of the individual spirit, the interconnectedness of all life, and the critique of materialism, making this collection a vital exploration of 19th-century American thought. Ralph Waldo Emerson, a seminal figure in American literature and philosophy, was deeply influenced by his encounters with diverse intellectual traditions, including German Idealism and Eastern philosophies. His role as a lecturer and a public intellectual allowed him to influence contemporaries and generations of thinkers, writers, and activists. Emerson's life as a Unitarian minister and a passionate advocate for social reform, particularly in abolition and women'Äôs rights, resonates throughout his works, imbuing them with both moral urgency and a quest for deeper understanding. For readers seeking to immerse themselves in the philosophical and cultural currents of early America, this collection is an essential resource. Emerson'Äôs insights into individualism, spirituality, and the human experience provide timeless wisdom that continues to inspire. Engage with "The Greatest Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson" to discover the enduring relevance of his thought in today'Äôs context.

    During the Irish Civil War, events of late 1922 and early 1923 together with waves of 'dishonourable' killings created poisoned relations between Republicans and 'Free Staters' which would last for several generations. The most enduring of these controversies, a policy of summary executions carried out by the Provisional Government from November 1922, continues to surround the argument.


This book offers a fresh perspective on the causes, development and consequences of the Irish Civil War. Triggered by the signing of the Anglo-Treaty, there were those that would accept nothing less than complete Irish independence. Very few IRA commanders active in the field supported the Treaty and, as happens often in the dissection of civil wars, controversy over the conduct of both sides figures heavily within the text, where,  at a local and national level, it left bitter legacies.


This book offers an overview of the war in all regions of Ireland.
