Transcendentalism emerged in the early 19th century in the United States, primarily during the 1830s and 1840s. It was a philosophical and literary movement that emphasized individual intuition, nature, and the inherent goodness of people. Key figures included Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau, who sought to challenge the conventions of society and promote self-reliance and spiritual connection to nature. The movement was influenced by Romanticism and Eastern philosophies, leaving a lasting impact on American thought and literature.
