Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Sunshine was he
In the winter day;
And in the midsummer
Coolness and shade."

Political Theory

The investigation of Emerson's political philosophy may as well begin with

Miller, Perry, “Emersonian Genius and the American Democracy” in Natures Nation. Cambridge, Mass.: Belknap Press, 1967.

But it should quickly move onto

Shklar, Judith N. “Emerson and the Inhibitions of Democracy.” Political Theory, Vol. 18 No. 4, Nov. 1990 601-614 (Reprinted in Redeeming American Political Thought. Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 1998.)

and most impressivly

Kateb, George. The Inner Ocean: Individualism and Democratic Culture. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1992.
