English Estimate Of Emerson
English Estimate of Emerson.
A single short work of Emerson's, the essay on "Compensation," is enough to convince one that this was a man of true genius. We have never read anything in Thoreau approaching that and other works of Emerson in originality or beauty. But Emerson is the best of the American writers. Was it Henry James who called him "the unfallen man?" One cannot imagine an intellect which failed to admire "Compensation" or which was convinced by its transcendentalism. - London Saturday Review.
