Self-Reliance and Other Essays by: Ralph Waldo Emerson

The six essays and one address in this volume outline the great transcendentalist's moral idealism as well as hint at the later scepticism that colored his thought. In addition to the celebrated title essay, the others included here are "History," "Friendship," "The Over-Soul," "The Poet," and "Experience," plus the well-known and frequently read Harvard Divinity School Address.
