Nature Writins of Ralph Waldo Emerson
This book restores the green Emerson to a deservedly prominent place in the narrative of American nature writing. Bringing the ecocritical community into contact with these theoretically rich, nature-focused texts is a vital contribution to contemporary environmental scholarship. David M. Roblinson, Oregon State University, author of Emerson and the Conduct of Life: Pragmatism and Ethical Purpose in the Later Work and Natural Life: Thoreaus Worldly Transcendentalism
