Grolier's Encyclopedia:
The American essayist and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson, b. May 25, 1803, d. Apr. 27, 1882, is considered the leading exponent of American TRANSCENDENTALISM.
The son of a Boston Unitarian minister, Emerson followed in his father's footsteps by attending the Boston Latin School (1812-17) and Harvard College (1817-21). After running a school for young women, Emerson returned (1825) to Harvard to study divinity and was licensed to preach the next year. Suffering from tuberculosis, he sailed to Charleston, S.C., and St. Augustine, Fla., in late 1826. When he returned to Boston, he preached from various pulpits before being ordained (1829) pastor of the prestigious Second Unitarian Church in Boston. In September 1829 he married Ellen Louisa Tucker. After Ellen's death in February 1831, Emerson underwent a religious and personal crisis, and the next year he resigned his pulpit and sailed for Europe. There he met William Wordsworth and Thomas Carlyle, forming a lifelong friendship with the latter. After his return to the United States in 1833, Emerson moved (1834) to Concord, Mass. In 1835 he married Lydia Jackson and began a successful career as a lecturer. He soon became one of the leaders of the transcendental movement, questioning the established views of literature, philosophy, and religion. He helped to start the Transcendental Club in 1836 and published Nature (1836), a book showing the organicism of all life and the function of nature as a visible manifestation of invisible spiritual truths. In 1837 he delivered his address "The AMERICAN SCHOLAR," often called America's literary declaration of independence, before Harvard's Phi Beta Kappa Society; in 1838 his address before the Harvard Divinity School challenged the very foundations of conservative UNITARIANISM. He cofounded (1840) the transcendentalists' periodical, the Dial, and edited it from 1842 until its collapse in 1844. Emerson established himself during the next decade with the publication of Essays (2 vols., 1841, 1844), Poems (1847), Nature: Addresses and Lectures (1849), and Representative Men (1850). By 1850 he was becoming known as the "sage of Concord," and his ensuing lectures and books met with public success. English Traits (1856) analyzed English society and compared it to American society, and The Conduct of Life (1860) showed his growing conservatism, as he balanced his earlier belief in freedom against the "beautiful necessity" of fate. Emerson died a famous and honored man.
