Essays and Poems by Ralph Waldo Emerson (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) by Ralph Waldo Emerson

3.0

There were some timeless moments in some of the essays, and a lot more anticapitalism than I expected, but overall I did not particularly enjoy this collection. I do recommend the address to Harvard's Divinity School for those interested in spirituality, and "An Address to the Citizens of Concord" was surprisingly relevant to the current political moment.

Also, There are only about 40 pages of poetry and 400 pages of essays, which feels misleading to me.
