Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
Emerson was one of the central characters in the transcendental movement emerging in literary circles around Concord, Massachusetts during the late 1830’s. He resigned from his occupation as a Unitarian clergyman in 1832 to travel to Europe, where he befriended Carlyle, Coleridge and Wordsworth among others. In the U.S. he lectured in philosophy, while forming a transcendentalist group comprising fellow writers and poets such as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow , Nathaniel Hawthorne and Henry David Thoreau . In 1842 he took over the role as editor of The Dial, which served as spokes vehicle for the movement. In 1855, Emerson recieved a thin book of poetry entitled "Leaves of Grass" by a poet he had never heard of before. He loved this book of poetry which was unorthodox in both style and subject. Emerson wrote an encouraging letter to this unknown poet, who of course was Walt Whitman . Later they also met, and Whitman was very flattered by the praise of Emerson.

Essays
The American Scholar
Mr. President and Gentlemen, The millions, that around us are rushing into life, cannot always be fed on the sere remains of foreign harvests. Events, actions arise, that must be sung, that will sing themselves. Who can doubt, that poetry will revive and lead in a new age, as the star in the constellation Harp, which now flames in our zenith, astronomers announce, shall one day be the pole-star for a thousand years? In this hope, I accept the topic which not only usage, but the nature of our association, seem to prescribe to this day,the AMERICAN SCHOLAR. Year by year, we come up hither to read one more chapter of his biography. Let us inquire what light new days and events have thrown on his character, and his hopes. It is one of those fables, which, out of an unknown antiquity, convey an unlooked-for wisdom, that the gods, in the beginning, divided Man into men, that he might be more helpful to himself; just as the hand was divided into fingers, the better to answer its end. The old fable covers a doctrine ever new and sublime; that there is One Man,present to all particular men only partially, or through one faculty; and that you must take the whole society to find the whole man. Man is not a farmer, or a professor, or an engineer, but he is all. Man is priest, and scholar, and statesman, and producer, and soldier. In the

Defining Transcendentalism
In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson , in his 1842 lecture The Transcendentalist
"The Transcendentalist adopts the whole connection of spiritual doctrine. He believes in miracle, in the perpetual openness of the human mind to new influx of light and power; he believes in inspiration, and in ecstasy. He wishes that the spiritual principle should be suffered to demonstrate itself to the end, in all possible applications to the state of man, without the admission of anything unspiritual; that is, anything positive, dogmatic, personal. Thus, the spiritual measure of inspiration is the depth of the thought, and never, who said it? And so he resists all attempts to palm other rules and measures on the spirit than its own.... "It is well known to most of my audience, that the Idealism of the present day acquired the name of Transcendental, from the use of that term by Immanuel Kant, of Konigsberg, who replied to the skeptical philosophy of Locke, which insisted that there was nothing in the intellect which was not previously in the experience of the senses, by showing that there was a very important class of ideas, or imperative forms, which did not come by experience, but through which experience was acquired; that these were intuitions of the mind itself; and he denominated them Transcendental forms. The extraordinary profoundness and precision of that man's thinking have given vogue to his nomenclature, in Europe and America, to that extent, that whatever belongs to the class of intuitive thought, is popularly called at the present day Transcendental...."

Return to Thoreau Reader Thoreau Biographical essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson, Atlantic Monthly, August 1862 Emerson was a major influence and mentor for Thoreau; it was Emerson who loaned Henry a pondside property for the two year experiment that resulted in Walden . But as Thoreau grew, Emerson appears not to have appreciated what was happening. He writes, "I cannot help counting it a fault in him that he had no ambition." — apparently missing completely the originality and enormity of Thoreau's ambitions. - brief analysis of a complicated relationship - by Amy Belding Brown Emerson's Thoreau in two parts: One Two Henry David Thoreau:
His Character and Opinions
By Robert Louis Stevenson, Cornhill Magazine , June 1880 Stevenson was a Scottish writer whose best known works are Treasure Island and The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde . He has at least two parallels with Thoreau: his first book was about traveling on inland waterways, and he died of tuberculosis at age 44.

Ensayo de ralph waldo emerson.
http://www.geocities.com/jcalbornoz/emerson.html
CONFÍA EN TÍ MISMO
R.W.EMERSON No hay grande ni pequeño
para el alma que lo hace todo.
Donde ella llega, todas las cosas están,
y llega a todas partes.
Yo soy dueño de la esfera,
de las siete estrellas y del año solar.
De la mano de César y del cerebro de Platón,
del corazón del Señor y del arte de Shakespeare. Hay una inteligencia común en todos los individuos humanos. Cada hombre es una entrada a esa inteligencia y a cuanto en ella existe. El que es admitido una vez al derecho de razón, se convierte en el dueño de toda la propiedad. Lo que pensó Platón lo puede pensar él. Puede sentir lo que ha sentido un santo: puede entender lo que ha sucedido en cualquier época a cualquier hombre. El que tiene acceso a este espíritu universal, es un partícipe de todo lo que se ha hecho o puede hacerse, pues éste es el único y soberano agente. En la confianza en sí mismo están comprendidas todas las virtudes. El hombre debe ser libre, libre y valiente. Libre hasta de la definición de libertad, sin impedimento alguno que no salga su propia Constitución. Valiente, pues: El temor nace siempre de la ignorancia Es una vergüenza para él que su tranquilidad en una época peligrosa se derive de la presunción de que, como los niños y las mujeres, pertenece a una clase protegida; o que busque una paz temporal, apartando sus pensamientos de la política o de las cuestiones engorrosas, ocultando su cabeza como el avestruz en los arbustos floridos; atisbando por los microscopios o traduciendo versos, como silba un niño para mantener su valor en la obscuridad. Si hace eso, él peligro sigue siendo un peligro y el temor se hace aún peor. Debe hacerle frente varonilmente. Debe mirarlo a los ojos y escudriñar su naturaleza, reconocer su origen, que no está muy atrás. Así encontrará en sí mismo una completa comprensión de la naturaleza y de la extensión de ese peligro, sabrá por donde tomarlo y en adelante podrá desafiarlo e imponerse a él.

There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till.

Man the Reformer
from Lectures , published as part of Nature; Addresses and Lectures Ralph Waldo Emerson A Lecture read before the Mechanics' Apprentices' Library Association, Boston, January 25, 1841 Mr. President, and Gentlemen, What if some of the objections whereby our institutions are assailed are extreme and speculative, and the reformers tend to idealism; that only shows the extravagance of the abuses which have driven the mind into the opposite extreme. It is when your facts and persons grow unreal and fantastic by too much falsehood, that the scholar flies for refuge to the world of ideas, and aims to recruit and replenish nature from that source. Let ideas establish their legitimate sway again in society, let life be fair and poetic, and the scholars will gladly be lovers, citizens, and philanthropists. Hence it happens that the whole interest of history lies in the fortunes of the poor. Knowledge, Virtue, Power are the victories of man over his necessities, his march to the dominion of the world. Every man ought to have this opportunity to conquer the world for himself. Only such persons interest us, Spartans, Romans, Saracens, English, Americans, who have stood in the jaws of need, and have by their own wit and might extricated themselves, and made man victorious.

The Young American
from Lectures , published as part of Nature; Addresses and Lectures Ralph Waldo Emerson A Lecture read before the Mercantile Library Association, Boston, February 7, 1844 GENTLEMEN: It is remarkable, that our people have their intellectual culture from one country, and their duties from another. This false state of things is newly in a way to be corrected. America is beginning to assert itself to the senses and to the imagination of her children, and Europe is receding in the same degree. This their reaction on education gives a new importance to the internal improvements and to the politics of the country. Who has not been stimulated to reflection by the facilities now in progress of construction for travel and the transportation of goods in the United States? This rage for road building is beneficent for America, where vast distance is so main a consideration in our domestic politics and trade, inasmuch as the great political promise of the invention is to hold the Union staunch, whose days seemed already numbered by the mere inconvenience of transporting representatives, judges, and officers across such tedious distances of land and water. Not only is distance annihilated, but when, as now, the locomotive and the steamboat, like enormous shuttles, shoot every day across the thousand various threads of national descent and employment, and bind them fast in one web, an hourly assimilation goes forward, and there is no danger that local peculiarities and hostilities should be preserved.
