Emerson's Nature, Second Edition

“This scholarly work is a study of the origins of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s first book, here reprinted in full, then traced to its inception in Emerson’s lectures and journals, and thereafter seen as its critics saw it—not only his contempo­raries, but critics of the later 19th cen­tury and those of the past three decades.”—Capital Times (Madison, Wis.)
