It goes into many of his work and this makes the works more understandable. I have trouble with some archaic writing and it makes it all the more important that i understand why Emerson said what he said and wrote what he wrote. He was writing for a intellectual audience as he spoke in a more simplified way. It would be interesting to read his talks before reading the more complex written works. Oh well.
