ABSTRACT
Coleridge’s approbation of Herbert in England was matched by Emerson’s in the United States. The ensuing extracts begin with an entry in Emerson’s journals and notebooks, continue with the relevant section of a lecture delivered in 1835, and conclude with two more entries in the journals and notebooks as well as with part of the preface to ‘Parnasses’ (1874). See further above, pp. 21 f.
