Nearly two centuries after the original publication of the essay Nature by Emerson this captivating book by critic and historian Tyler Green brings together a selection of artistic works in dialog with Emerson's text for the first time. Green also offers his own fascinating take on Nature through new research into how the essay was informed by Emerson's experiences of art and in turn how it informed American art well into the twentieth century. The result is a unique melding of essay art and ideas that will draw new readers to Emerson's writings while also introducing a fresh perspective on a critical contribution to the American canon and showing what impact Emerson's text still has for the US to this day.
