Ralph Waldo Emerson is one of the preeminent figures of the American literature. The leading expositor of the transcendentalist movement, he helped shape modern American Philosophy and religion, and his legacy continued through Thoreau, Melville, Whitman, and Dickinson. This edition, edited by Peter Washington, presents a selection of his most prominent poems.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, who went by his middle name Waldo, was an American essayist, lecturer, philosopher, minister, abolitionist, and poet who led the transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century. He was seen as a champion of individualism and critical thinking, as well as a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society and conformity. The German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche thought he was "the most gifted of the Americans", and Walt Whitman called Emerson his "master".
