The Early Lectures of Ralph Waldo Emerson Volume I 1833-1836 Edited by Stephen E. Whicher 1961 GC Vtg  Famous first as a lecturer, Ralph Waldo Emerson molded his books on the rostrum. Yet relatively few of his hundreds of lectures have ever been published. Now, in a projected series of three volumes of which this is the first, the complete surviving lectures of Emerson’s earlier years are made available. In a readable and critical text, these volumes will establish an important step in Emerson’s creative process—that which lies between the notes jotted down in the journals and the finished text of the essays as prepared for print.#ralphwaldoemerson#thenaturalist#rarebooks#vintagebooks#bookstore
