This book brings together a wide range of materials from history, religion, philosophy, horticulture, and meteorology to argue that Emerson articulates his conception of history through the language of the weather.

Trade Review
“Beautifully written and brilliantly conceived and organized, this is the most illuminating and original work on Emerson that I have read. Cadava works to historicize Emerson by tracing the thematic and rhetorical connections between his writing and the literary, theological, and political texts of his period, and, in so doing, hopes to establish a model for reading the relation between literature and history. In my opinion, he is completely successful.”—Edgar A. Dryden, University of Arizona
