Reviews
[Andrews] succeeds in making Emerson's ideas and recommended spiritual practices accessible and relevant to contemporary readers. Those interested in 19th-century American spiritualism or the father of transcendentalism should take a look. --Publishers Weekly Andrews presents Emerson as a spiritual guide, whose goal was to bring sustaining principles and ethical practices to his readers. American Sage is an ideal companion for readers working through Emerson's essays, a reading group on spirituality, and any number of classroom situations. --David M. Robinson, author of Emerson and the Conduct of Life: Pragmatism and Ethical Purpose in the Later Work In a style that is both scholarly and highly readable, Andrews offers an insightful account of Emerson's teachings as a 'sage' of spirituality, demonstrating how his ideas are relevant to readers of today who are poised between faith and unbelief. --Phyllis Cole, author of Mary Moody Emerson and the Origins of Transcendentalism: A Family History
