Ralph Waldo Emerson is one of the best-loved figures in 19th-century American literature, and, though he earned his central place in our culture as an essayist and philosopher, since his death his reputation as a poet has grown as well. Known for challenging traditional thought and for his faith in the individual, Emerson was the chief spokesman for the Transcendentalist movement. His poems speak to his most passionately held belief: that external authority should be disregarded in favor of one's own experience. From the embattled farmers who "fired the shot heard round the world" in the stirring "Concord Hymn," to the flower in "The Rhodora" whose existence proves that "if eyes were made for seeing, /Then Beauty is its own excuse for being," Emerson celebrates the existence of the sublime in the human and in nature. In these poems, we see revealed a moving, more intimate side of the man revered as the Sage of Concord. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
