Emerson as a Poet

American literature of the 19th century was characterized by a romantic spirit. From 1828 to 1865, the era from the Jackson's era to the Civil War was called "America's Romantic era". This is the era of 'American-specific literature' (Abrams, p. 206). Also known as the American Renaissance, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Edgar Allan Poe, Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne. Original works and outstanding works created in this literary genre (excluding drama) of this era are not surpassed by later American literature.

In the 19th century, the poet and author Ralph Waldo Emerson expressed the philosophy of life based on the existence of inner self and soul. Emerson has learned from the wonderful ideas of the past, learned, and repeatedly said that everyone should live according to their own ideas. I will try to explain Emerson's philosophy, according to which I think he is the central theme of all his works. This is the main idea of ​​Waldo philosophy. He believes that men should learn to express themselves. Being on your own helps you solve problems in your life. Just like all the great men, we need to believe in ourselves to improve our lives. Independence comes from the depth of our soul. That is the backbone of our personal strength and self-esteem. This great source of freedom gives us freedom from our self and helps us transcend the ideals of love, truth, and justice; some call it "moral sentiment" .

Ralph Waldo Emerson, an essayist, poet and philosopher, was born on May 25, 1803 in Boston, Massachusetts. He is the son of the famous minister, William Emerson, and the son of Ruth Haskins, the daughter of a merchant. When Emerson was eight years old in 1811, his father died, left his mother, and brought up children with six children. My aunt Mary Moody Emerson is an artist interested in the education of four nephews. She may play an important role in the development of Emerson as a writer. His family was poor after his father died, but Emerson was a private university Boston Latin School. In 1817, at the age of 14, he received a scholarship at Harvard University, where he won several awards. After graduating in 1821, Emerson was a teacher of the school of his brother William. In 1825, he studied at Harvard Theological Seminary, and a year later he began to serve as Minister of Monotheism. Soon, he became a pastor of the Massachusetts Senate.
