Ralph Waldo Emerson was one of the most thought-provoking writers of the 19th century, influencing naturalists like Henry David Thoreau, poets like Walt Whitman, conservationists like John Muir, and many others both at home and abroad. He was also among the first New England writers to incorporate the power of wild nature into his worldview, thus giving birth to Transcendentalism –– a distinctly American philosophy. The Laws of Nature is a collection of fragments from Emerson’s writings, gleaned from personal journals as well as published works, that provide a glimpse into the mind of a true lover of nature.
