Emerson's Metaphors: A Fundamental Reinterpretation of Ralph Waldo Emerson and an Interdisciplinary Intervention in Literary Criticism
Emerson's Metaphors is a groundbreaking reinterpretation of the influential American writer Ralph Waldo Emerson, combining literary criticism with interdisciplinary insights. Drawing on the groundbreaking Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT), the book recognizes metaphor as a cognitive form rather than a mere rhetorical or ornamental device. Through a close reading of Emerson's journals, lectures, and major essays, Emerson's Metaphors reveals how his prose employs figurative language to engage in profound symbolic reconceptualizations of nature, man, and God. This monograph not only offers valuable insights into Emerson's scholarship but also serves as the first comprehensive study of a canonical writer to employ CMT. As such, it sets a precedent for interpreting all literary works through this innovative lens.
