Paper Abstract: Examines writer as shaper of personal life & history into works of art. Ideas of Emerson, works of Rousseau, Kafka, Eliot, Wordsworth, Shakespeare. Paper Introduction: Ralph Waldo Emerson in The American Scholar makes a statement about writing, the process of writing, and the value of writing to subsequent generations. He states: The theory of books is noble. The scholar of the first age received into him the world around; brooded thereon; gave it the new arrangement of his own mind, and uttered it again. It came into him life; it went out from him truth. It came to him shortlived actions; it went out from him immortal thoughts. It came to him business; it went from him poetry. It was dead fact; now it is quick thought. It can stand and it can go. It now endures, it now flies, it now inspires. Precisely in proportion to the depth of mind from which it issued, so high does it soar, so long Text of the Paper: The entire text of the paper is shown below.
