    Ralph Waldo Emerson

    Ralph Waldo Emerson was the leading proponent of the Transcendentalist movement of the mid-nineteenth century. He was ordained as a Unitarian minister at Harvard Divinity School but served for only three years before developing his own spiritual philosophy based on individualism and intuition. His essay Nature is arguably his best-known work and was both groundbreaking and highly controversial when it was first published. Emerson also wrote poetry and lectured widely across the US.

      This is the wrong book, exactly what the other reviewer mentioned is accurate. NOT Emerson's "First Essays".
    • 1/5
      THIS IS AN AUDIO OF THE WRONG BOOK! It is NOT "Essays, First Series" BY Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is "Self And Self Management Essays About Existing" by Arnold Bennet.
