Hello friends. I'm looking into early American lit.

Can anyone recommend some introductory (preferably shorter) writing by any of the following:

>Ralph Waldo Emerson
>Nathaniel Hawthorne
>Louisa May Alcott

I'm interested in prose, essays, poems, anything you think is good and/or characteristic.

Hawthorne Tales & Sketches. Whatever emerson book is in print (he writes essays, so they are all short).

Dunno anything about Alcott's daughter

thanks

no, I'm looking at the Transcendentalists mostly for some information on the roots of the early environmental movement.

Franklin and Paine are very important and I would like to read Paine at some point but one has priorities, alas.
