Through his writing and his own personal philosophy, Ralph Waldo
Emerson unburdened his young country of Europe's traditional sense
of history and showed Americans how to be creators of their own
circumstances. His mandate, which called for harmony with, rather
than domestication of, nature, and for a reliance on individual
integrity, rather than on materialistic institutions, is echoed in
many of the great American philosophical and literary works of his
time and ours, and has given an impetus to modern political and
social activism. Larzer Ziff's introduction to this collection of
fifteen of Emerson's most significant writings provides the
important backdrop to the society in which Emerson lived during his
formative years.
