Emerson, known as the "Sage of Concord," was a poet and essayist who established himself as a leading spokesman of transcendentalism and a major figure in American literature. The American lecture circuit of the 1830s was dominated by his winter lecture tours, which included the notable essays "The Over-Soul" and "Self-Reliance." Plato, the sacred books of the East, Swedenborg, and Kant all contributed to the development of his ideas. Who built a cabin next to a pond on land owned by him?
