Henry David Thoreau
Ralph Waldo Emerson was the founder of the Transcendentalist movement in American literature. Emerson is known for his essays "Self-Reliance" and "Nature. His protege, who became a well-known Transcendental author as well, was Henry David Thoreau. Thoreau became well-known for his experiment in simplicity, living alone in a small cabin at Walden Pond in Massachusetts. He wrote about his experiences and thoughts during that time in the book Walden.
While living at Walden Pond, Thoreau wrote his book "Walden; or, Life in the Woods," which is now considered a classic in American literature. He used his time there to reflect on simple living, self-reliance, and the beauty of nature, which influenced his writing and philosophical ideas. Additionally, his time at Walden Pond helped shape his ideas on civil disobedience, which would later be influential in the American transcendentalist movement and in the development of nonviolent protest tactics.
