Transcendentalism is related to romanticism in that both movements emphasize the importance of individualism, intuition, and a connection to nature. They both reject strict societal norms and value personal experience and emotion. Transcendentalism, however, places a stronger emphasis on the idea of transcending the physical world to reach a higher spiritual plane.
