The essential writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson

Emerson, Ralph Waldo -- 1803-1882 (Author). Atkinson, Brooks, 1894-1984 (editor.). Oliver, Mary, 1935-2019 (author of introduction.).

A collection of Emerson's major speeches, essays, and poetry, The Essential Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson chronicles the life's work of an "American Scholar." As one of the architects of the transcendentalist movement, Emerson embraced a philosophy that championed the individual, emphasized independent thought, and prized "the splendid labyrinth of one's own perceptions." He forged a style distinct from his European predecessors and defined what it meant to be an American.
