A review by rclyburn
The Essential Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson by Ralph Waldo Emerson

5.0

I do not agree with everything Emerson says, but he is a joy to disagree with. I particularly dislike his essay entitled "Wealth". I found his ban on legislation of the free market following decrying the power of the Rothschild's illogical. His affection for friends I found stilted. I found his poetry a touch narrative, but his prose elegant.

And I rather believe he married his first wife because he believed he was the sort of man who would marry a dying woman, rather than from any genuine love.
