Description: Emerson, Ralph Waldo, Essays: First Series, Society and Solitude, The Complete Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Boston: Houghton, Mifflin & Company, The Riverside Press, 1904. 2 volumes, Concord edition. Original three-quarter leather boards. Presented are two volumes from The Complete Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Book II: Essays: First Series and Book VII: Society and Solitude. The set was published out of Boston in 1904 by Houghton, Mifflin & Company. The books are illustrated throughout and include a biographical introduction and notes from Edward Waldo Emerson. Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) was an American author, lecturer, and philosopher best known for his essays and poems that reflected upon the Transcendentalist movement in the mid 19th-century. His first two published essays, Essays: First Series and Essay: Second Series, encouraged an audience made up of like-minded intellectuals. Emersons writing influenced his contemporaries greatly. Men such as Henry David Thoreau and Walt Whitman continued to inspire readers with their own written work as pronounced Emersonians. Emersons complete works were compiled and published as a set posthumously. These two books were published as part of the Concord edition.

Illustrated with photogravures. Very clean, fine set. Appears almost unused. Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803 - April 27, 1882) was an American essayist, lecturer, and poet who led the Transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century and influenced Henry David Thoreau. He was seen as a champion of individualism and a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society, and he disseminated his thoughts through dozens of published essays and more than 1,500 public lectures across the United States. Emerson gradually moved away from the religious and social beliefs of his contemporaries, formulating and expressing the philosophy of Transcendentalism in his 1836 essay, Nature. Following this ground-breaking work, he gave a speech entitled "The American Scholar" in 1837, which Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. considered to be America's "Intellectual Declaration of Independence." Emerson wrote most of his important essays as lectures first, then revised them for print. His first two collections of essays Essays: First Series and Essays: Second Series, published respectively in 1841 and 1844; represent the core of his thinking, and include such well-known essays as Self-Reliance, The Over-Soul, Circles, The Poet and Experience. Together with Nature, these essays made the decade from the mid-1830s to the mid-1840s Emerson's most fertile period. This set contains all of this work.
