The poems of Ralph Waldo Emerson, edited by Edward Emerson, the poet’s brother, with his preface describing the history behind this edition. Includes the entirety of the Riverside Press edition plus additional poems and fragments. ‘The House,’ which appeared in the first volume of "Poems," and ‘Nemesis,’ ‘Una,’ ‘Love and Thought,’ and ‘Merlin’s Songs, from the "May-Day" volume, have been restored, and some of the essays to the "Elements," plus a few poems by Ellen Tucker, the poet’s first wife, have likewise been added. A few poems from the verse books, ‘Insight,’ ‘September,’ ‘October,’ ‘Hymn,’ and ‘Riches’ are printed here for the first time, as well as some twenty early unpublished pieces "not so much for their poetic merit as for the light they shed on the growth of Emerson’s thought and character."

Custom engraved presentation bookplate on front pastedown for "The Thomas Hyde Scholar, 1917."
