Like other titles in the sequence, this one is remarkable, and the editorial work by von Frank and Wortham establishes the volume as the chief source for a critical investigation into Emerson's poetry. The volume collects Emerson's poetry published in his lifetime, and the poems are arranged chronologically. Emerson's poems often appeared in different publications, and the poems were edited and often revised for each occasion. The notes list the variants and the sources, forming a historical collation of the poetry, often with references to the more obscure allusions. In addition, von Frank provides a \"historical introduction,\" surveying the poems through Emerson's life and critical reception. By the end of his life, and throughout much of the 20th century, Emerson's significance as an American poet was secured. However, in recent decades, his poetry has become an afterthought to his essays. This volume invites a reconsideration of Emerson as a poet, one engaged in experimental prosody and one for whom the poetry becomes a map of the creative process and thought itself. -- R. T.

He was straightening out his own thoughts and accumulating his ‘savings Bank’ (as he said) which he could draw on for his published work. The manuscripts contain everything, from college essays, notes on lectures, and commonplace book jottings to accounts, lists of books to be read, indexes, and jokes. The editors have placed first things first. They will print all the journals, by which they mean ‘those volumes which consist predominantly of Emerson’s prose records of his experiences and thoughts.’ As for the miscellaneous notebooks, priority will be given to those which contain ‘personal, literary, and intellectual records.’ …That the editors have been able to order this fascinating chaos is a tribute to their patience, intelligence, and skill. There will never have to be another edition. * The New York Times Book Review *\u003cbr\u003e[W]e want the fullest possible picture of the mind of a great Representative Man, and writer, like Emerson. This the new edition of the journals will do much to furnish. These earliest journals, boyish and immature as they are…have very decidedly the interest that, not only for the student, attaches to the spectacle of a young and potentially creative mind struggling to free itself from convention and commonplace and to arrive at its own idiosyncrasy of insight and truthtelling. * The Nation *\u003cbr\u003eThese papers reveal how the mighty affirmations grew out of struggle, suffering, sorrow, and doubt, as well as the ecstasies of his poetic life. Older editions of these journals and notebooks were incomplete, sometimes inaccurate, selected to prettify the real story. Now…we shall have everything (including illustrations of Emerson’s gifted doodling)… Beautifully manufactured for permanence, this book represents the magnificent enterprise of some of our major University Presses. * The Chicago Tribune *\u003cbr\u003eThe editorial work is a marvel to behold. Never have we seen an edition that so clearly and definitively represents a manuscript with all its cancellations, interlineations, and so on. It is a model of editorial practice.

Such a volume will command more than one reading. * Times Literary Supplement *\u003cbr\u003eThe present volume covers the period 1826–1832, during which Emerson passed through two major crises in his life—his wooing of, and brief marriage to Ellen Tucker, who died soon after, and his short service in the ministry before deciding that the calling was not for him.
