Review:
'A book all full of thoughts like winged arrows.' --Thomas Carlyle
'Seldom had any traveler made so wise an appraisal of the character of a nation.' --Ralph Rusk, 'Life of Emerson'
'This book - part-travelogue, part-ethnography, part-journalism, part-reflective essay- is something of an anomaly in Emerson's oeuvre, and one of his most accessible, relaxed, attractive performances.' --Phillip Lopate

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.
