Summary
Ralph Waldo Emerson was one of the most influential figures in America during the 19th century. This audiobook, Representative Men, gives an account of how he understood genius, its place in society, its mechanism, and the historical accounts that supported his views. It is fitting that a man of such influence be remembered through his account of greatness in others.
In this work, he provides in this work a novel view of the function of history and intelligence.

Great Read (listen) highly recommended
Well researched... written & narrated. As with all books that deal with the intricacies of life, and the understanding of it's purpose, it's meaning and our relation to and with the whole. This work breaks down what it is that produces and makes for genius and its opposite and that all woman and men are genius irrespective of race , class or gender. The narrator Marline Angelides does an excellent job in getting 'tone ' pace and pitch of the subject matter and that my compliment extends to Israel Bouseman for collating and editing this body of work.Thank you to all involved in adding valuable insight to all to awakening the genius within each and every being. Thank you.
