What it is about
The volume gathering Nature, the American Scholar address and the Divinity School Address.
Context and history
The three texts that defined nineteenth-century American thought. Oliver Wendell Holmes called the American Scholar address 'our intellectual Declaration of Independence'; the Divinity School one got him banned from Harvard for thirty years. **A note on the edition: Nature also appears alone in the catalogue. Not a duplicate: both entries stay.**
Editorial context, not a citable source: unlike the passages of the work itself, these statements cannot be checked against the corpus.
