Reproduction of the original: Nature by Ralph Waldo Emerson

This new 2019 edition of Self-Reliance from Logos Books includes The American Scholar, a stirring speech of Emerson's, as well as footnotes and images throughout.

" This edition is based on Emerson's holograph manuscripts and published sources. The text incorporates corrections and revisions he recorded in both sources, and thus restores for the reader the text he actually wrote.

Copy-texts in this edition are the first published versions of each text, restored here as Emerson’s initial audience would have read them.
