Description: Emerson remains one of America's least understood writers, having spawned neither school nor follower. Those wishing to discover or reacquaint themselves with Emerson's writings but who have not known where or how to begin will not find a better starting place or more reliable guide than David Mikics in this richly illustrated Annotated Emerson.
Brief description: David Mikics is John and Rebecca Moores Professor of English at the University of Houston.
Review Quotes: Mikics's annotations are gracious, helpful, and genuinely illuminating. This is a 'reader's edition' in the truest sense.--Philip F. Gura, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
