Description:

The controversy surrounding his address at the Harvard Divinity College on July 15, 1838 has overshadowed the address Ralph Waldo Emerson gave to the Literary Societies of Dartmouth College on July 24. He argued that language is the greates of man's creations and best used as the weapon of thought and of justice. Discipline, united with inspiration, creates the Whole Man, the literary genius. Emerson stressed the central position of the man of genius, a notion clearly conceptualized by then, although more sharply defind in later essays.
