With the appearance of the tenth and final volume of Collected
Works, a project fifty years in the making reaches completion: the
publication of critically edited texts of all of Emerson's works
published in his lifetime and under his supervision. The
Uncollected Prose Writings is the definitive gathering of Emerson's
previously published prose writings that he left uncollected at the
time of his death. The Uncollected Prose Writings supersedes the
three posthumous volumes of Emerson's prose that James Elliot Cabot
and Edward Waldo Emerson added to his canon. Seeing as their
primary task the expansion of the Emerson canon, they embellished
and improvised. By contrast, Ronald A. Bosco and Joel Myerson have
undertaken the restoration of Emerson's uncollected prose canon,
printing only what Emerson alone wrote, authorized for publication,
and saw into print. In their Historical Introduction and Textual
Introduction, the editors survey the sweep of Emerson's uncollected
published prose. The evidence they marshal reveals Emerson's
progressive reliance on lectures as forerunners to his published
prose in major periodicals and clarifies what has been a slowly
emerging portrait of the last decade and a half of his life as a
public intellectual.
