Talk:Nature (essay)

It is important in this stub to distinguish between Emerson's two essays on nature, the seminal 1838 one here and the Nature of the 1844 Second Series of essays. Confusion can thus be avoided. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.20.35.106 (talk) 02:05, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Two Natures
First, there was Nature, a small anonymous book published in 1836. It has eight sections. Then, there was "Nature," an essay contained in Essays: Second Series. The two are very different from each other.Lestrade (talk) 20:15, 16 March 2012 (UTC)Lestrade
