Whitall N. Perry has been called “the most authoritative traditionalist of American background” and “a latter-day transcendentalist in the tradition of Emerson and Thoreau.” The editor of the monumental A Treasury of Traditional Wisdom, Perry was one of the very few people who was personally acquainted with all four of the leading figures of the traditionalist or perennialist school: René Guénon and Frithjof Schuon (the two originators) and Ananda Coomaraswamy and Titus Burckhardt (the two continuators). This compilation of Perry’s essential writings includes a wide array of his articles as well as selections from his letters and other previously unpublished writings.
