- Abstract
"Three Roads Back: How Emerson, Thoreau, and William James Responded to the Greatest Losses of Their Lives" is a book by Robert D. Richardson that explores how these three American intellectuals coped with personal tragedies and losses. The book emphasizes the idea of resilience and how the experience of loss can lead to new forms of creativity and thinking. Richardson uses a documentary biography approach, drawing from journal entries and letters, to provide a personal and sympathetic connection between the reader and the subjects. The book highlights the importance of understanding the lives of these intellectuals in addition to their written works.
