Herald of Freedom: Essays of Nathaniel Peabody Rogers, American Transcendentalist and Radical Abolitionist (3rd ed)
A hero of both Thoreau and Emerson, who admired both his political and his nature writing, Nathaniel Rogers was perhaps the most radical American of the 19th century: a pacifist, anarchist, anti-racist, anti-sexist, and advocate of animal rights. This volume represents the rediscovery of one of the greatest and most characteristic writers of American transcendentalism. 'But to speak of his composition. It is a genuine Yankee style, without fiction - real guessing and calculating to some purpose. It has a life above grammar, and a meaning which need not be parsed to be understood. . We deem such timely, pure, and unpremeditated expressions of a public sentiment, such publicity of genuine indignation and humanity, the most generous gifts a man can make, and should be glad to see the scraps collected into a volume.' --Henry David Thoreau This volume includes Thoreau's essay on Rogers, John Pierpont's biographical essay on Rogers, and other supplementary material.
