The Essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Emerson, Alfred Kazin observes in his Introduction, was a great writer who turned the essay into a form all his own. His celebrated essays are here presented for the first time in an authoritative one-volume edition, which incorporates all the changes and corrections Emerson made after their initial publication.
A ‘critical’ and unmodernized text as close to Emerson’s original intent as modern bibliographic research can come* Library Journal *
