To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That modest andlenient fellow-feeling which gave such charm to his companionshipbreathes in his gravest writing, and prevents us from finding any pageof it cold or hard or dry. Though Emerson was always urgent for 'the soul of the world, clean fromall vestige of tradition, ' yet his work is full of literature. He atleast lends no support to the comforting fallacy of the indolent, thatoriginating power does not go with assimilating power. Few thinkers onhis level display such breadth of literary... reference. Unlike Wordsworth, who was content with a few tattered volumes on a kitchen shelf, Emersonworked among books. When he was a boy he found a volume of Montaigne, and he never forgot the delight and wonder in which he lived with it. His library is described as filled with well-selected authors, withcurious works from the eastern world, with many editions in both Greekand English of his favourite Plato; while portraits of Shakespeare, Montaigne, Goethe, Dante, looked down upon him from the walls.
