A vibrant history of the renowned and often controversial Iowa Writers' Workshop and its celebrated alumni and faculty

In the late 1830s, Ralph Waldo Emerson, American essayist, poet, lecturer, and leader of the Transcendentalist movement, publicly called for a radical nationwide vocational reinvention, and an idealistic group of collegians eagerly responded. This book tells the history of professional and personal relationships between Emerson and his proteges.
