Society and Solitude, published in 1870, was the first collection
of essays Emerson had put into press since The Conduct of Life ten
years earlier. Of the twelve essays included in the volume, he had
previously published seven in whole or in part: "Society and
Solitude," "Civilization," "Art," "Eloquence," "Domestic Life,"
"Books," and "Old Age." Emerson added five previously unpublished
lectures or essays, "Works and Days," "Clubs," "Courage,"
"Success," and "Farming." This edition is based on Emerson's
holograph manuscripts and published sources. The text incorporates
corrections and revisions he recorded in both sources, and thus
restores for the reader the text he actually wrote. Although he is
still visibly the insistent optimist of his early and middle
career, here Emerson assumes a more pragmatic attitude than
formerly toward the life of the mind and the imagination. Society
and Solitude captures the penultimate expression of Emersonian
Transcendentalism and Romanticism. Historical Introduction, Notes,
and Parallel Passages by Ronald A. Bosco Text Established and
Textual Introduction and Apparatus by Douglas Emory Wilson
