Time Bettering Days and Other Essays

The contributions of Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy (1888-1973), one of the most profound and original thinkers of the twentieth century, span several disciplines in the humanities--history, philosophy, sociology, linguistics, religion--although his work is ultimately uncategorizable. In 1933, immediately upon the ascent of Hitler, he emigrated to the United States from Germany, where he had been teaching at the University of Breslau. In the US he was a professor at Harvard University for two years and then moved to Dartmouth College, where he taught until 1957. His voice is prophetic, urgent, and compelling, and it remains relevant. This volume is a compilation of nine essays, written between 1937 and 1961, all but one of them previously unpublished.
