Summary "Critical Miscellanies, Vol. 1, Essay 5: Emerson" by John Morley is a critical essay written in the early 20th century. It offers an in-depth examination of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s life and work, situating him within the broader context of American literature and philosophy. The book serves as both a biography and a literary critique, discussing Emerson’s transcendentalist ideals, his contributions to philosophical thought, and his impact on American culture. In this essay, Morley delves into various aspects of Emerson's life, including his upbringing in a lineage of preachers, his role as a Unitarian minister, and his eventual transition to a career of lecturing and writing. He highlights key moments in Emerson's life, such as his notable address at the Divinity School of Harvard and the profound personal losses that shaped his worldview. Morley also analyzes Emerson’s style and writing, pointing out the challenges and idiosyncrasies in his prose, while emphasizing the sincerity and depth of thought that characterize his works. Ultimately, the essay positions Emerson as a pivotal figure in the development of American thought, advocating for self-reliance, the intrinsic connection between humans and nature, and the importance of individual perspective.
