Synopsis
This first collection of Emerson's essays has influenced a host of thinkers and intellectuals since its first appearance in 1841. 'Self-Reliance' is undoubtedly the collection's most famous essay, a piece in which Emerson argues that one must put a wholehearted trust in the power of one's own intuition, and not hold to orthodox opinions merely because the mass of people believe them to be true. But the prestige surrounding this work has tended to obscure the breadth of Emerson's vision: in the twelve essays in 'Series One' he invites us to consider a wide range of topics, from the true nature of 'Friendship', 'Heroism' and 'Love', to the high-flown philosophy of 'Spiritual Laws' and 'The Over-Soul'.

About the Author
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) was a tireless and diligent public intellectual who would give over 1500 lectures over the course of his career, educating thousands of people within academia and wider society about his beliefs, principles and personal philosophy. The son of a Bostonian minister, Emerson was giving good schooling, and was influenced by his father's professional capacity for speech. Upon establishing a school in Massachusetts, Emerson's thoughts on freedom and the place of the individual were to evolve. Over the course of his life Emerson's outlook on personal freedoms and independence would be massively influential on the young United States, immeasurably shaping the nation's development and outlook. Adventurous even in old age, Emerson would in 1871 take a trip on the barely-completed Transcontinental Railroad, touring California and meeting many dignataries during his trip. His final writings were the poetic anthology Parnassus. After years of failing memory Emerson perished from pneumonia in 1882.
