Published in 1876, this collection was shepherded into print by Emerson’s daughter, Ellen Tucker Emerson, and his friend, James Elliot Cabot, due to Emerson’s diminished health. But the essays themselves, especially the masterful ‚Poetry and the Imagination, ‚ a ringing defense of the symbolic power of poetry, belie the notion of any decline.
Über den Autor
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) was an American essayist and poet. Along with such figures as Henry Thoreau and Margaret Fuller, he was an originator and, through the magazine The Dial, popularizer of the Transcendentalist movement. In essays like ‚Self-Reliance, ‚ he championed a distinctly American brand of individualism.
