Even as he extols what he called "the great and crescive self," he dramatizes & records its vicissitudes. Here are all the indispensable & most renowned works, including "The American Scholar" ("our intellectual Declaration of Independence" as Oliver Wendell Holmes called it), "The Divinity School Address", considered atheistic by many of his listeners, the summons to "Self-Reliance", along w/ the more embattled realizations of "Circles" & especially "Experience". Here, too, are his wide-ranging portraits of Montaigne, Shakespeare, & other "representative men", & his astute observations on the habits, lives, & prospects of the English & American people. This volume includes Emerson's well-known "Nature"; "Addresses, & Lectures" (1849), his "Essays: First Series" (1841) & "Essays: Second Series" (1844), plus "Representative Men" (1850), "English Traits" (1856), & his later book of essays, "The Conduct of Life" (1860). These are the works that established Emerson's colossal reputation in America & found him admirers abroad as diverse as Carlyle, Nietzsche, & Proust. The reasons for Emerson's influence & durability will be obvious to any reader who follows the exhilarating, exploratory movements of his mind in this uniquely full gathering of his work. Not merely another selection of his essays, this volume includes all his major books in their rich entirety. No other volume conveys so comprehensively the exhilaration & exploratory energy of perhaps America's greatest writer. * THE LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts.
