Ralph Waldo 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. The text is reproduced from the second
and third volumes of The Collected Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson, a
critical edition which draws on the vast body of Emerson
scholarship of the last half century. Alfred R. Ferguson was
founding editor of the edition, followed by Joseph Slater (until
1996).
