John Muir and the Botanical Oversoul

The relation of influence between Ralph Waldo Emerson and John Muir helps to illuminate Muir's characteristic brand of nature religion, namely his mysticism. This relation is especially clear, I argue, in both Emerson and Muir's writing on their mystical affinities for plant life. Applying...
