Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882) was an American essayist, poet, and philosopher. Emerson is known as one of the leaders of the transcendentalist movement, which reached its height in mid-nineteenth century New England. With its emphasis on the dignity of the individual, equality, hard work, and respect for nature, Emerson’s work remains influential and pertinent to this day.
