Description

Ralph Waldo Emerson's journals are his life's work, spanning almost 60 years and comprising over three million words. Begun as a Harvard junior at 16, they were a "Savings Bank" for his thoughts, ideas, and phrases gathered from wide-ranging reading, as well as a fascinating diary in the ordinary sense of the term. These intimate records reveal Emerson's unique style in long, uninterrupted passages, without the daunting critical apparatus of scholarly editions. The Library of America presents a comprehensive nonspecialist edition, retaining the original order and dramatic range of his thoughts. Each volume includes images, notes, biographical sketches, a chronology, and an index. Selected Journals 1841-1877 offers a unique insight into Emerson's life and work, providing a glimpse into what he called "the infinitude of the private man".
