During the 1800s in America, the rise of industrialization reduced the cost of goods allowing people to have more possessions than ever before. However, a group known as the Transcendentalists believed that possessions created vanity. Instead, they valued the individuals relationship with divinity. One of the movements most famous members, Ralph Waldo Emerson, wrote prolifically about his beliefs and experiences. A representative selection of his writings is presented here in this volume of the Essays and Poems by Ralph Waldo Emerson. In the first essay, Nature, Emerson publicly acknowledges the transcendental lifestyle. He describes how that which is manmade detracts from the beauty of the real world. Through nature, Emerson believed people could find spirituality and wholeness. Emerson also explored the American political spectrum in his essay Politics. The author believed that, through individual growth and wisdom, it would be possible for Americans to abolish government and rule autonomously. Until that point, though, the State needed to protect the individuals rights. Readers can explore Emersons philosophy and poetry in this collection which includes twentyfour of his most important essays and fifteen of his poems. This edition is printed on premium acidfree paper and includes an introduction by Stuart P. Sherman.
