Description: Ronald A. Bosco and Joel Myerson have gathered Emerson's most memorable prose published under his direct supervision, enhanced by additional writings. Ralph Waldo Emerson: The Major Prose is the only single-volume anthology that presents the full range of Emerson's written and spoken prose--sermons, lectures, addresses, and essays.
Brief description: Ronald A. Bosco, Distinguished Professor of English and American Literature at the University at Albany, State University of New York, is General Editor of the Collected Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Review Quotes: Bosco and Myerson, the finest textual scholars of Emerson's work, have collected Emerson's major sermons, lectures, and essays into one elegant, beautifully edited volume...Where necessary, the editors have improved on the editing of such seminal addresses as 'The American Scholar, ' creating the most authoritative texts of individual prose works now available. This volume has much to offer both seasoned scholars and those coming to the 'Sage of Concord' for the first time.--T. H. Richardson "Choice" (10/1/2015 12:00:00 AM)
