Generally recognized as the major transcendentalist figure in American literature, Emerson (1803-82) was an essayist, poet, orator, philosopher, and abolitionist whose writings and speeches emphasized the importance of accepting the notions of self-examination and self-reliant individualism. His essay entitled "Nature" immediately became known as the Bible of American transcendentalism after its publication in 1836, and a year later, his Phi Beta Kappa address at Harvard, "The American Scholar," was hailed as an intellectual declaration of independence, calling as it did for the "overleaping [of] convention and institution to achieve independent, individual, creative effort."
