Politics is an essay written by Ralph Waldo Emerson . It is part of his Essays Second Series , published in 1844. A premier philosopher, poet and leader of American transcendentalism , he used this essay to belie his feelings on government, specifically American government. His impact on New England thought and his views on pragmatism influenced the likes of Henry David Thoreau , Orestes Brownson , and Frederich Nietzsche , among others. Summary Although not viewed as his most important essay in the second series, Emerson s views on politics championed democracy and individualism, two ideas that are viewed today as undoubtedly American. By 1844, Emerson, then 41, had moved into a pragmatic balance of skepticism and idealism, happily providing him with a way to dream as well as a way to live . ref Spiller, Robert E., J.

Nature is an essay written by Ralph Waldo Emerson , published anonymously in 1836. It is in this essay that the foundation of transcendentalism is put forth, a belief system that espouses a non traditional appreciation of nature . Recent advances in zoology, botany, and geology confirmed Emerson s intuitions about the intricate relationships of Nature at large. A visit to the Mus um National d Histoire Naturelle in Paris inspired a set of lectures delivered in Boston and subsequently the ideas leading to the publication of Nature. Emerson defines nature as a paradise rather than being ruled by a superior being. Overview File Emerson by Johnson 1846 crop.jpg right thumb 180px Emerson small by Johnson, 1846 small Many scholars identify Emerson as one of the first writers with others, notably Walt Whitman to develop a literary style and vision that is uniquely United States American , rather than following in the footsteps of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and others who were strongly influenced by their United Kingdom British cultural heritage . Nature is the first significant work to establish this new way of looking at The Americas and its raw, natural environment. In England , all natural things are a reference to layers of historical events, a reflection of human beings. However, in America, all of nature was relatively new to western culture Western Civilization with no man made meaning. With this Tabula rasa clean slate , as it were, Emerson was enabled to see nature through new eyes and rebuild nature s role in the world. Henry David Thoreau had read Nature as a senior at Harvard College and took it to heart. It eventually became an essential influence for Thoreau s later writings, including his seminal Walden . Emerson followed the success of this essay with a famous speech entitled The American Scholar . These two works laid the foundation for both his new philosophy and his literary career.

Samuel Barber s Essay for Orchestra opus number Op . 12 , completed in the first half of 1938, is an orchestral work in one movement. It was given its first performance by Arturo Toscanini with the NBC Symphony Orchestra on November 5, 1938 in New York in a radio broadcast concert in which the composer s Adagio for Strings saw its first performance. It lasts around 8 minutes and is dedicated To C.E. . The essay is now known as the First Essay for Orchestra after Barber wrote his Second Essay for Orchestra Barber Second Essay for Orchestra in 1942. He wrote his Third Essay for Orchestra Barber Third Essay for Orchestra in 1978. Barber visited Toscanini several times in 1933 and the world famous conductor told Barber that he would like to perform one of his works. This was a great honor for the young composer, particularly because Toscanini rarely performed works by contemporary or American composers. Barber presented his work to Toscanini in 1938. The Essay is abstract and program music non programmatic . It resembles but is not equivalent to a first movement of a symphony. Besides the world premiere in 1938, Toscanini also performed the music on January 24, 1942, in a special War Bonds performance that was preserved on transcription discs Toscanini never made a commercial recording of the music. Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra recorded the music in 1942 for RCA Victor in the Academy of Music.
