This is the first and only comprehensive selection of lectures by Ralph Waldo Emerson, his era’s most prominent American man of letters and one of the foremost architects of our intellectual culture.

Emerson's celebrated essays - the twelve published in Essays : first series (1841) and eight in Essays : second series (1844) are here presented for the first time in an authoritative one-volume edition which incorporates all the changes and corrections Emerson made after their initial publications.
Part 1 opens with biographical and introductory notes on Emerson’s life and thought, then transitions into essays on moral growth and intellectual independence. In The American Scholar, he advocates creative self-reliance and independence of mind, while Self-Reliance expands this vision into the moral realm.
