The article presents information on the book "The Life of Emerson," by Van Wyck Brooks. The present biography represents the completion of a task begun by Brooks several years ago. It is more than three times as long as the torso published in 1927, and the parts duplicating that have apparently been extensively rewritten. What is most interesting about it is its method. The effect is much as if philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson grown more lucid, less apocalyptic and sententious, had written an autobiography in the third person.
