These pages have existed, in some form or another,
since 1995, when I first discovered that there was a wealth of Ralph Waldo Emerson
material on the Net, all very difficult to find. My goal for these

Transcendentalists by identifying and organizing that
information.

do not write and maintain this site for a salary; my sole support
for this site's expenses is the Amazon.com donation jar (above), and
Amazon.com book links and other commercial links I've added to the
site. If you have Javascript enabled in your Internet browser,
you'll see targeted suggestions on many of this site's pages. You
can use the links to find books at the library or at your local
bookstore, but buying books directly through the links on
this site will help pay the cost of this site and help keep it
online.
