Emerson on selfhood, society, and spiritual thought

This collection brings together six essays and the Harvard Divinity School Address, placing “Self-Reliance” alongside pieces on history, friendship, the Over-Soul, poetry, and experience. The range gives the volume a view of Emerson’s concerns across moral idealism and the possibility of later scepticism. Its varied subjects make it useful as both a focused encounter with the title essay and an introduction to several connected strands of Emerson’s thought.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers exploring Emerson’s essays and address in one volume
  • Those interested in American literary classics and nineteenth-century thought
  • Readers seeking essays on self-reliance, friendship, history, poetry, and spiritual ideas
