Ralph Waldo Emerson is a globally renowned writer, essayist, poet,
and lecturer who led the Transcendentalist movement in the
mid-nineteenth century. Heralded today as one of the greatest
writers of North America, Emerson had a profound influence on
subsequent US and European literature and philosophy. His key works
include Nature (1836), The American Scholar (1837), and The Conduct
of Life (1860). Swedenborg: Introducing the Mystic is taken from
his 1850 classic Representative Men.
