This volume aggregates the essays by Ralph Waldo Emerson first collected in Nature (1837), Essays: The First Series (1841) and Essays:The Second Series (1844). His essays derived from his many lectures on the subject topics and articulated the ideas and values that came to be known at the time as the Transcendentalist movement and have since become woven into the fabric of the American temperament. He was a champion of the emerging idea of individualism and a critic of the constraints imposed by conformity to prevailing social and religious beliefs. The first and formative expression of the Transcendentalist philosophy appeared in 1836 in his essay “Nature”. With Margaret Fuller, he founded the Transcendentalist journal The Dial in 1840 and published his seminal Essays: First Series in1841 and Essays: Second Series in 1844. His essays and lectures set the course of much of the intellectual life of the country.
