A review by owenpeak
The American Scholar by Ralph Waldo Emerson

2.0

This posed some interesting ideas but, stylistically, it didn’t make for very interesting reading. I found the frequent listing of inspirational intellectuals a bit irksome and some of the phrasing was overly wordy. However the rhetoric used presented the ideas in a fairly convincing light and I definitely feel like I have more of a grasp of the transcendentalist movement after reading this.
