Following the success of his first series of essays, Emerson offered the public his insights into additional facets of the human condition, from 'Character' and 'Manners' to 'Politics' and 'Poets'. Best known for his essay on 'Nature' - in which the author insists that solitary contemplation of the natural world can produce a most profound bodily exhilaration and spiritual enlightenment - Emerson once again demonstrates a vision that is both down-to-earth and deeply numinous, giving the reader a host of new perspectives from which to view the mysteries and seeming contradictions of Existence.
