Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Lonely Americans' is an evocative collection of biographical essays that explores the lives of eight prominent figures in American history who, despite their public influence or artistic success, lived lives of profound intellectual or social solitude. Written by Rollo Walter Brown, this w…ork offers a sympathetic and penetrating look at individuals who dared to remain distinct from the crowd, often paying the price of isolation for their unique visions and unwavering integrity.The subjects profiled include a diverse array of creative and intellectual giants, such as the enigmatic poet Emily Dickinson, the innovative painter James McNeill Whistler, and the visionary educator Charles William Eliot. Through these portraits, Brown examines the theme of individualism in the American spirit, highlighting the internal struggles and triumphs of figures like Abraham Lincoln, George Bellows, and Edward MacDowell. Each sketch serves as a meditation on what it means to be an outsider within one's own culture while contributing significantly to its development.This volume remains a valuable resource for readers interested in American history and the psychological landscape of creativity. Brown's graceful prose captures the essence of these 'lonely' figures, providing a timeless reflection on the character and cost of true independence.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
