Emerson, Alfred Kazin observes in his Introduction, "was a great writer who turned the essay into a form all his own." His celebrated essays-the twelve published in "Essays: First Series" (1841) and eight in "Essays: Second Series" (1844)-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. | Essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
