As one of the architects of the transcendentalist movement, Emerson embraced a philosophy that championed the individual, emphasized independent thought, and prized "the splendid labyrinth of one's own perceptions." More than any writer of his time, he forged a style distinct from his European predecessors and embodied and defined what it meant to be an American. Matthew Arnold called Emerson's essays "the most important work done in prose." <p/> INCLUDES A MODERN LIBRARY READING GROUP GUIDE<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>I was simmering, simmering, simmering.
