"The generous cross section of Emerson's writing here presented emphasizes his charm and wit rather than stressing his transcendentalism. His wise and personal observations on man and his ways emerge as sharp and meaningful today as for his own time." From Mark van Doren, editor: "It is Emerson gazing at a portion of the world and giving, without self-consciousness, his amazed, his amusing, his mature report." Excerpts of essays, poems, journals and letters. |
