A collection of Essays

Perhaps no writer has so dramatically shaped the course of American philosophy as Ralph Waldo Emerson, whose meditations on spirituality, freedom, and the power of knowledge have informed and inspired generations of activists, scholars, and thinkers.

Society and Solitude is Emerson's last great work, a collection of lectures he delivered on tour, in which he found profound insight on such seemingly prosaic topics as Art, Eloquence, Domestic Life, Books, Courage, Success, and Old Age.

Very good condition for the age. Beautiful embossed dark green covers with golf gilt lettering on both spine and front. Corners and spine ends show wear and have been bumped. Block edge gilded. Spotless interior.

Please see photos, enlarge and email with any questions. Thanks for looking.
