Description
This introduction examines the fifteen essays from the perspective of three categories: those that are involved in constructing a new Emerson who generally displays more consistency and continuity than the model provided by Stephen Whicher in the early 1950s; those that engage in close textual analysis and reveal new facets of Emerson's thought; and those that examine Emerson's philosophical influences--both from earlier thinkers who influenced Emerson, and to later thinkers who were influenced by Emerson. Along the way I explore some aspects of Emerson as man, thinker, and literary artist to provide a clearer understanding of why he is such a difficult, multifaceted, and influential presence in American literature and culture. **********
