Ralph Waldo Emerson - A Bicentennial Exhibition at Houghton Library of the Harvard College Library (Paperback)

Houghton Library celebrated the 200th anniversary of the birth of Ralph Waldo Emerson with an exhibition of the library's unparalleled collection of Emersoniana. Edited by exhibition curators Ronald A. Bosco and Joel Myerson, this catalogue explores Emerson's extensive journals, his correspondence with Bronson Alcott and Margaret Fuller, his stormy friendship with Henry David Thoreau, and the role he played as patriarch to a fractious extended family of poets, thinkers, and abolitionists at the heart of the American Renaissance.
