Matthew Arnold called Emerson’s essays “the most important work done in prose.”   INCLUDES A MODERN LIBRARY READING GROUP GUIDE\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ralph Waldo Emerson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53095766294752,"sku":"9780679783220","price":73.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/5681\/6608\/files\/71R0rqoOpXL._SY522.jpg?v=1781662923","url":"https:\/\/medicalbook.online\/products\/the-essential-writings-of-ralph-waldo-emerson","provider":"medicalbook.online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
