Emerson, Ralph Waldo, 1803-1882,

The portable Emerson / Ralph Emerson ; edited by Jeffrey S. Cramer. - London : Penguin Classics, 2014. - 768 pages ; 20 cm

Through his writing and his own personal philosophy, Ralph Waldo Emerson unburdened his young country of Europe's traditional sense of history and showed Americans how to be creators of their own contexts. With his central text, 'Nature', he singlehandedly engendered an entire spiritual and intellectual movement in transcendentalism. Editor Jeffrey S. Cramer has chosen texts like 'Nature' and 'The American Scholar', along with revelatory journal entries, letters and poetry revealing a stirringly human writer.
