Walden and Other Writings (Modern Library Classics)
Henry David Thoreau, Peter Matthiessen
Modern Library, 2000
FIVE STARS FOR THE GIRL IN WYOMING!
I have no intention of reviewing the writings of Thoreau. The way I figure it is this : if you don't "get it" (and the world around us clearly testifies that few do), I'm not about to explain it. Besides, several other reviewers here have already done a very ...

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Library of America, 1983
The Most American Book of the Collection
I have lately developed a love affair with the Library of America, and this is its most important book. Emerson more than any other struck a course for the future of American letters outside the confines of the British tradition. This edition has all of the standard ...

Ralph Waldo Emerson: Selected Essays, Lectures and Poems
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Bantam Classics, 1990
At long last: someone worth reading....
I discovered Emerson at age 34, and it was like coming home. I have always been, I guess, a natural "transcendentalist". In other words, I instinctively and intuitively fell into a transcendentalist mindset and way of thinking without ever having read any. So I've ...

The Essential Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson (Modern Library Classics)
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Modern Library, 2000
Eye Opening Essays
If the words of Whitman do not prompt one to at least explore the ideas of Ralph Waldo Emerson, nothing I say will be able to (or should). I suppose though many readers have merely seen Emerson's name after a famous quote or heard it mentioned by others and are curious ...

Nature and Walking (The Concord Library)
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beacon Press, 1994
a true example of American naturalism at its finest
John Elder is a genius! The spirituality of Emerson's "Nature" is a perfect compliment to the deep philosophical naturalism of Thoreau's work. It just came in the mail an hour or so and i can't put it down! I'm going to reccomend it to all of my friends.

Library of America, 1994
The poetry of mind is only sometimes soulful
The aphoristic, enigmatic, cryptic, verse of Emerson is collected here in its entirety. Much comes from his notebooks and journals. Emerson was criticized among others by Mathew Arnold for lacking ' the soul' of the poet. And it is true that the music of his verse is ...

Ralph Waldo Emersom: an appreciation
Although he was considered during his lifetime to be a profoundly radical thinker, Emerson, the Transcendentalist chief, after his death, was soon reinterpreted as a bland Bostonian Brahmin, a mystic anarchist who was only brave on paper. It cannot be denied that his ...
