Among their leaders was &&LB&&RRalph Waldo Emerson&&L/B&&R, whose essays, lectures, and poems defined the American transcendentalist movement, though he himself disliked the term. &&L/P&&R&&LP&&REmerson advocates a rejection of fear-driven conformity, a total independence of thought and spirit, and a life lived in harmony with nature. He believes that Truth lies within each individual, for each is part of a greater whole, a universal "over-soul" through which we transcend the merely mortal. &&L/P&&R&&LP&&REmerson was extremely prolific throughout his life; his collected writings fill forty volumes. This edition contains his major works, including Nature, the essays "Self-Reliance," "The American Scholar," "The Over-Soul," "Circles," "The Poet," and "Experience,", and such important poems as "The Rhodora," "Uriel," "The Humble-Bee," "Earth-Song," "Give All to Love," and the well-loved "Concord Hymn." &&L/P&&R&&LDIV&&R&&LB&&RIncludes a comprehensive glossary of names.&&L/B&&R &&L/DIV&&R&&LDIV&&R&&LP&&R&&LB&&RPeter Norberg&&L/B&&R has been Assistant Professor of English at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia since 1997.
