Download the easiest screen capture (print screen) program. Free trial Emerson's first book, Nature , a collection of essays, appeared when he was thirty-three and summed up his ideas. Emerson emphasized individualism and rejected traditional authority. He invited the world to "enjoy an original relation to the universe" and emphasized "the infinitude of the private man." All creation is one, he believed - people should try to live a simple life in harmony with nature and with others. "... the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or particle of God," he wrote in Nature . His lectures The American Scholar (1837) and Address at Divinity College (1838) challenged the Harvard intelligentsia and warned about a lifeless Christian tradition. He was ostracized by Harvard for many years, but his message attracted young disciples, who joined the informal Transcendental Club, organized in 1836 by the Unitarian clergyman F.H. Hedge.

Ralph Waldo Emerson II. RALPH WALDO EMERSON: 1803-82 Ralph Waldo Emerson came of the academic class. His ancestors for five generations had been scholars and most of them had been ministers. His father, William Emerson, minister of the First Church in Boston , was a man of good sense, dignified after the manner of the old New England type, and emphatic in the expression of his views. The mother of Ralph Waldo was known for her patience, her gentle courtesy, her quiet dignity and serenity of spirit. Among the early companionships of the household, there was another which had a lasting influence in the development of Emerson's character , that of an aunt, Mary Moody Emerson, whose strong intellectuality was of the sort which distinguished Emerson himself. Home Atmosphere. Ralph Waldo Emerson was born May 25, 1803, in the parsonage on Summer Street, in Boston, not far from the house in which Franklin was born almost a century before. His boyhood was passed in an atmosphere of intellectuality and of literary effort. In 1804, the Rev. William Emerson organized what was known as the Anthology Club, and edited a publication of the club, the Monthly Anthology , or Magazine of Polite Literature . The circle of contributors included John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster and much scholarly talent. The famous

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History EMERSON, RALPH WALDO , essayist and poet. A central figure in the history of ideas in America, Emerson attacked the sterile rationalism and materialism of his age and encouraged a new generation to find "an original relation to the universe." His romantic advocacy of self-reliance, based on a notion of the "god within," diminished the authority of institutions and traditions and empowered the self. As the central figure in the movement known as transcendentalism, he had an immediate and personal influence on Henry David Thoreau, Margaret Fuller, Bronson Alcott, and Theodore Parker, among others, and his writings on philosophical and aesthetic subjects strongly influenced the work of such major American authors as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Walt Whitman, and Emily Dickinson. Emerson was educated at the Boston Latin School and Harvard College and prepared for the Unitarian ministry at Harvard Divinity School. He served as minister at Boston's Second Church from 1829 to 1832, when he resigned over his refusal to administer Communion. Already a widower, in frail health, and unsure of his future, he traveled to Europe, where he met notable literary figures, including Thomas Carlyle with whom he carried on a correspondence for almost fifty years. He returned to the United States in 1833 and began his lecturing career. In his first book

69. Emerson's THE AMERICAN SCHOLAR In The American Scholar, ralph waldo emerson characterizes the nature of the American scholar in three categories nature, books, and action. http://www.geocities.com/fidelio1st/literature/theamericanscholar.htm

"The American Scholar" by Ralph Waldo Emerson March 23, 1999 Man Thinking: The Nature of Emerson's American Scholar by Judd Taylor In "The American Scholar," Ralph Waldo Emerson characterizes the nature of the American scholar in three categories: nature, books, and action. The scholar is one who nature mystifies, because one must be engrossed with nature before he can appreciate it. In nature, man learns to tie things together; trees sprout from roots, leaves grow on trees, and so on. Man learns how to classify the things in nature, which simplifies things in his mind (section I). Books, to the scholar, should only be used as a link to gathering information about the past. For these books do not give a definite factual account of the past; they provide information for man to form his own opinions. These books were written by men who already had formulated ideas in their heads spawned by other books. Man must look to these books for inspiration in creating his own thoughts. He must use all the possible resources available to get every side and every opinion out there. When man creates his own thoughts, using every source to aid him in his thinking, only then will the scholar be learned, be man thinking (section II). Although not as important, the scholar must also take action. He must fill each and every moment of the day. The scholar should work different jobs and learn new professions. Then he will learn new languages in which to illustrate his thoughts. The scholar should teach his knowledge to men, teach them facts versus appearances. To do this, the scholar must trust himself, never willing to give in to popular opinion. He should never seek money or power, or let either sway his judgement. His actions are a reflection of his character, and "character is higher than intellect" (Section III).

American intellectual and author Ralph Waldo Emerson helped lead the transcendentalism movement, a 19th-century school that looked to individual intuition, rather than scientific rationalism, as the highest source of knowledge. In “Self-Reliance” (1841), one of Emerson’s most important works, he expressed his optimistic faith in the power of individual achievement and originality. He also considered the overarching need to discover and develop a relationship with nature and with God. An actor reads this excerpt from the essay.

In his hometown, Concord, Emerson founded a literary circle called New England Transcendentalism, a hodgepodge of fashionable thoughts, in which participated among others Nathaniel Hawthorne and Henry Thoreau . During his travels in England he met Wordsworth Coleridge , and Thomas Carlyle , with whom he maintained a lifelong correspondence from the 1830s and whose opinions of the importance of great historical figures influenced his own writings. Later Emerson became involved in the antislavery movement and worked for women's rights. CHARACTER The sun set, but set not his hope: Stars rose; his faith was earlier up: Fixed on the emormous galaxy, Deeper and older seemed his eye; And matched his sufferance sublime The taciturnity of time. He spoke, and words more soft than rain Brought the Age of Gold again: His action won such reverance sweet As hid all measure of the feat.

Essays: Second Series : THE POET The Poet from Essays: Second Series A moody child and wildly wise Pursued the game with joyful eyes, Which chose, like meteors, their way, And rived the dark with private ray: They overleapt the horizon's edge, Searched with Apollo's privilege; Through man, and woman, and sea, and star, Saw the dance of nature forward far; Through worlds, and races, and terms, and times, Saw musical order, and pairing rhymes. Olympian bards who sung Divine ideas below, Which always find us young, And always keep us so. ESSAY I The Poet The breadth of the problem is great, for the poet is representative. He stands among partial men for the complete man, and apprises us not of his wealth, but of the common-wealth. The young man reveres men of genius, because, to speak truly, they are more himself than he is. They receive of the soul as he also receives, but they more. Nature enhances her beauty, to the eye of loving men, from their belief that the poet is beholding her shows at the same time. He is isolated among his contemporaries, by truth and by his art, but with this consolation in his pursuits, that they will draw all men sooner or later. For all men live by truth, and stand in need of expression. In love, in art, in avarice, in politics, in labor, in games, we study to utter our painful secret. The man is only half himself, the other half is his expression.

What am I? and What is? asks the human spirit with a curiosity new-kindled, but never to be quenched. Behold these outrunning laws, which our imperfect apprehension can see tend this way and that, but not come full circle. Behold these infinite relations, so like, so unlike; many, yet one. I would study, I would know, I would admire forever. These works of thought have been the entertainments of the human spirit in all ages. A more secret, sweet, and overpowering beauty appears to man when his heart and mind open to the sentiment of virtue. Then he is instructed in what is above him. He learns that his being is without bound; that, to the good, to the perfect, he is born, low as he now lies in evil and weakness. That which he venerates is still his own, though he has not realized it yet.

We have every day occasion to remark its perfect identity, under whatever new phraseology or application to new facts, with the liberal thought of all men of a religious and contemplative habit in other times and countries. We were lately so much struck with two independent testimonies to this fact, proceeding from persons, one in sympathy with the Quakers, and the other with the Calvinistic Church, that we have begged the privilege to transcribe an extract from two private letters, in order that we might bring them together. The Calvinist writes to his Correspondent after this manner.
