Ralph Waldo Emerson Journals, Volume 2
Ralph Waldo Emerson Institute/Books
Published: Thursday, February 9, 2006

These are the personal journals of Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) Volume 2 of the Ralph Waldo Emerson Journals covers the years 1824-1832, when Emerson began teaching and was a divinity student at Harvard. The journal entries cover his entry into the Unitarian ministry, his struggles with church tradition and his entry into his chosen field. On the personal side, this volume reveals his engagement to the beautiful and frail Ellen Tucker, their marriage and her early death.
From the Publisher:

        The Digital Journals of Ralph Waldo Emerson is an archive provided by The Ralph Waldo Emerson Institute and www.rwe.org for the use and convenience of interested students of the life and works of America’s Founding Thinker, Ralph Waldo Emerson. The source of these digital Journals is the ten-volume Edward Emerson edition, originally published in Boston from 1904 through 1914, and comprising over 5,000 pages of material.

        The main advantages of the Digital Journal Archive over the printed volumes are the search and read aloud features available in Acrobat Reader. Users can find names, dates, places, and, most important, words and ideas in a relative instant. Emerson used his journals as his “savings bank,” as he called them, to record and then use thoughts and insights for later use in essays, lectures and sermons. Therefore, the journals hide the seed of an entire essay, but they also reveal more private thoughts and personal observations which never found their way into the Complete Works. In all, the Journals are a fascinating and valuable record of a lifetime of inspiration and insight.
