Volume 1
Edited by Alfred J. von Frank
Introduction by David M. Robinson
"Von Frank has provided a painstaking edition with useful notation and a highly detailed chronology of the period of Emerson's life covered by the volume. David M. Robinson's general introduction is a lucid treatment of the sermons in their historical context, which is probably the best available short treatment of Emerson's ministry. Highly recommended."--Choice1989. 432 pp. 6 1/8 x 9 1/4. Index. Chronology. ISBN 0-8262-0681-6.
$49.95s.
Volume 2
Edited by Teresa Toulouse and Andrew H. Delbanco
Volume 2 includes a detailed chronology of the events in Emerson's life during the months between July 1829 and October 1830. Explanatory footnotes, textual endnotes, and a comprehensive index further add to this significant contribution to our understanding of one of America's foremost thinkers."The high standards of the first volume . . . are maintained here, with full but unobtrusive documentation along with judicious and clear annotation. A major contribution to American intellectual and religious history. Highly recommended."--Choice
1990. 432 pp. 6 1/8 x 9 1/4. Index. Chronology. ISBN 0-8262-0746-4. $49.95s.
Volume 3
Edited by Ronald A. Bosco
The forty-five sermons collected in Volume 3 were composed and first delivered between October 1830 and November 1831. During that time Emerson's first wife, Ellen Tucker Emerson, died of tuberculosis, a loss that deeply affected Emerson."Like its predecessors volume three of Emerson's Complete Sermons is a model of accuracy and textual editing. Like them also the last third ('Textual Notes') includes Emerson's revisions, cancellations, supplements and related documents--all requiring great editorial patience. We owe a large debt to the team of scholars under the captaincy of Albert J. von Frank for ushering into print, after a century and a half in limbo, this block of important manuscripts."--American Renaissance Literary Report
1991. 432 pp. 6 1/8 x 9 1/4. Index. Chronology. ISBN 0-8262-0797-9. $49.95s.

The final volume in the series focuses on a crossroads in Emerson's life, the year 1832, when he resigned from his ministry at the Second Church of Boston.
