From The Complete Work of Ralph Waldo Emerson – Volume II, Essays First Series, was first published in 1841 by Jas. Monroe & Sons, Boston. The first reviews were mixed, varying according to biased opinions about this “new thought.” After Emerson’s death, the work appeared as Volume II in the Centenary Edition, published by Houghton Mifflin. A newly edited volume was published by The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press in 1979.
DVD label – Emerson: The Ideal In America
“Emerson Circle” led by Barbara Solowey
You’re invited to join the Emerson Circle led by Barbara Solowey, to study and explore the spiritual, and intellectual legacy of America’s great sage and teacher. In following Emerson’s advice to ”Read for Lustres”, the conversations are alive and full of enthusiasm.
In the next series, we will explore The Over-Soul, Emerson’s expression of the fundamental Unity in all things proclaiming the oneness of God, the Soul, and the Universe. This in-depth study will help inspire us in our journey toward Self Discovery.
The Emerson Circle will meet on Saturdays
from 1 pm to 3 pm

You can enter the class at any time, it does not have to be in sequence for
two reasons that we believe Waldo Emerson himself
encourages us to “Read for the Lustre”:
1. The Conversations are so deep, this is more about the Conversation than the text.
2.You can listen and read the entire Class online anytime.
Please bring a printed copy of the essay, The Over-Soul, with you.
