The Selected Lectures of Ralph Waldo Emerson
"This volume is a comprehensive portrait of Emerson's intellectual development, one that offers a view from a fresh and revealing angle. We see the Emerson that his contemporaries would have seen—the public lecturer. This is an outstanding work that will add much to the understanding of both Emerson's career and the culture to which he spoke with such tireless commitment."--David M. Robinson, author ofNatural Life: Thoreau's Worldly TranscendentalismandEmerson and the Conduct of Life
