Stephen Whicher has suggested about Emerson in particular that the "dogmatic" optimism he vaunted publicly was something of a makeshift cover for the void he felt in private, a too-much-protested (and therefore sometimes callous) faith thrust upon him by "the ghastly reality of things."Sacvan BercovitchAt the same time there was in [William] James an awful loneliness. He lived in terrible personal isolation, believing that only individuality counted and that even its joys were fleeting. Much of his optimism was bravado.Bruce Kuklick
