American writer Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882) was an essayist and poet who led the transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century. He was a champion of individualism and a critic of the countervailing pressures of society. He published dozens of essays and 1,500 public lectures. Emerson gradually moved away from religious and social beliefs, formulating and expressing the philosophy of transcendentalism in his 1836 essay Nature. Following this groundbreaking work, he gave a speech entitled The American Scholar in 1837, which Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. considered to be America's intellectual Declaration of Independence.
