Synopsis

This book recovers George Ripley from obscurity and gives justice to a compelling character. Despite his literary renown, Ripley's complexities were concealed from all but a few. A man of ideas and purpose, he left a wide mark on the discourse of his age. The author explores Ripley's early life, ministry, and his role in the Brook Farm community. While his sights were frequently set on larger concerns, Ripley's insights on vital and internal piety are also examined. A man of integrity and thought, he was also a Unitarian minister and journalist who later became a literary critic, scholar, and editor of the New American Cyclopedia. This book is a valuable contribution to the study of a remarkable and influential figure.
