Omschrijving

""George Ripley"" is a biography written by Octavius Brooks Frothingham about the life of George Ripley, an American transcendentalist, journalist, and social reformer. The book provides a detailed account of Ripley's life, starting with his childhood in Massachusetts and following his journey through college, his early career as a Unitarian minister, and his eventual departure from the church to become a leading figure in the transcendentalist movement.Frothingham delves into Ripley's role as the founder of the utopian community of Brook Farm, which was established in 1841 and aimed to create a society based on communal living and shared labor. The book explores the successes and failures of Brook Farm, as well as Ripley's other endeavors, including his work as a journalist and his involvement in the abolitionist movement.Throughout the book, Frothingham examines Ripley's intellectual and philosophical beliefs, including his views on religion, politics, and social justice. The biography also includes insights into Ripley's personal life, including his relationships with his wife and children.Overall, ""George Ripley"" offers a comprehensive and engaging portrait of one of the most influential figures in the transcendentalist movement and a key figure in American intellectual history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
