Exchange of letters between Heath at Tuckaway Inn, The University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee, and Charles R. Metzger, 7702 57^th Avenue NE, Seattle 5, Washington, July 28 and August 9, 1954

 

 

 

Dear Mr. Metzger:                      July 28, 1954

 

Apropos of your beautiful article, “Emerson’s Religious Conception of Beauty,” in the Journal of Aesthetics & Art Criticism for September, 1952, and of  my very, very high admiration for the Emersonian point of view, I take the liberty of sending you a little essay of my own which I feel may evoke sympathetic response.

 

Sincerely and appreciatively,

 

 

 

 

Encl: “The Inspiration of Beauty”

I want to thank you for your note of appreciation and for your essay. I should like also to invite expression of your opinion about my book, Emerson and Greenough, transcendental pioneers of an American esthetic (University of California Press), which is just out.
