Introduction by Mary Oliver
Commentary by Henry James, Robert Frost, Matthew Arnold, Oliver Wendell Holmes,
and Henry David Thoreau
The definitive collection of Emerson's major speeches, essays, and poetry, The
Essential Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson chronicles the life's work of a true
"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." More than any writer of his time, he forged a style distinct from
his European predecessors and embodied and defined what it meant to be an
American. Matthew Arnold called Emerson's essays "the most important work done
in prose."
