This final chapter explores Emerson’s own ideas on education as expressed in his writings and how these foundational ideas serve in revisioning him as a theorist of reading. Each of the three interdependent tenets of Emerson’s reading theories receives a synopsis as a way of review before addressing their implications and applications in the literature classroom. In the penultimate section of this chapter, the author will share how he has made use of Emerson’s theories on reading in his own teaching of Emerson’s work in response to the global pandemic’s effect on adolescent students and their readiness to read challenging texts. The concluding section returns to the opening salvo of the first chapter of this book as a coda to discuss how Emerson’s theory of reading speaks to the promise of teaching students healthy reading practices in the post-pandemic educational landscape.
