The book won critical acclaim, picking up the 2003 According to the jury, Buell was selected "for a book worthy of both the great philosopher he chose as his topic and of the Brooks and Warren tradition of excellence in literary criticism." The jury added: "In an elegant, clear-speaking style, notably free of pretentious academic jargon, Dr. Buell cogently assesses Emerson's radically original contributions to fields of thought as disparate as science, politics, religion, philosophy, literature and social action." [http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2004/04.08/14-buell.html "Lawrence Buell's Emerson wins Award" Harvard Gazette 04.08.2004 ] ] "I am honored that my 'Emerson' has been chosen as this year's recipient of the Warren-Brooks Award," Buell said. "I also confess to being somewhat bemused and surprised," he added, "that a book about a New England icon toward whom both Mr. Warren and Mr. Brooks felt distinctly ambivalent would be honored in their name, especially considering that only one of its seven chapters is exclusively devoted to Emerson's accomplishment as a creative writer. So for that particular book to be awarded this prize in particular seems deliciously ironic." Buell added, "On the other hand, Emerson always aspired to be a poet first and foremost, and it's no less true that Brooks and Warren were my own first and foremost instructors in the art of reading literary texts. I take the judge's verdict as heartening evidence that Emerson did not aspire in vain, and that my early training somehow managed to stick."op. cit.] Ecocriticism He is widely considered a pioneer of Bibliography *Literary Transcendentalism (1973) External links * [http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~english/people/buell_profile.htm Profile at Harvard University] References Источник: Lawrence Buell
