Ralph Waldo Emerson is one of the most significant figures in nineteenth-century American literature and cultureindeed, this collection argues, in the history of philosophy. The Other Emerson is a thorough reassessment of the philosophical underpinnings, theoretical innovations, and ethical and political implications of the prose writings of one of America's most enduring thinkers.
