Episode 838: The Emerson Circle with Bruce Nichols
In Episode 838, Jacke talks to author Bruce Nichols about his new book The Emerson Circle: The Concord Radicals Who Reinvented the World.
They discuss how literary luminaries — Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Louisa May Alcott, Bronson Alcott, Margaret Fuller, the Peabody sisters, and Nathaniel Hawthorne — gathered for conversation and exchanged ideas that would end up changing the world.
