The definitive collection of Emersonβs major speeches, essays, and poetry, The Essential Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson chronicles the lifeβs work of a true βAmerican Scholar.β As one of the architects of the transcendentalist movement, Emerson embraced a philosophy that championed the individual, emphasized independent thought, and prized βthe splendid labyrinth of oneβs own perceptions.β 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 Emersonβs essays βthe most important work done in prose.β
