Autorenporträt
Ralph Waldo Emerson, born on May 25, 1803, in Boston, Massachusetts, is widely acknowledged as one of the foremost thinkers and writers of the 19th century America. A key figure in the transcendentalist movement, his work espouses a philosophy that emphasizes individuality, freedom, and a deep connection to nature. Emerson was not only a brilliant essayist and poet, but also a celebrated public speaker whose lectures drew large audiences. After studying at Harvard and briefly embarking on a career in the ministry, Emerson found his true calling in writing and public discourse. His seminal essay 'Nature' laid the groundwork for transcendentalist thought, while his anthology 'The Greatest Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson', which includes essays like 'Self-Reliance', 'The Over-Soul', and 'The Poet', showcases his profound impact on American intellectual life. Emerson's literary style combines eloquent prose with aphoristic clarity and a profound grasp of the human spirit. His work has inspired generations of thinkers and writers and remains integral to discussions on individualism and the intrinsic value of nature. Emerson passed away on April 27, 1882, in Concord, Massachusetts, but his legacy endures through his extensive body of literary and philosophical works.
