American transcendentalism was a philosophical and literary movement in the 19th century that emphasized the inherent goodness of people and nature, and believed in the importance of self-reliance, individualism, and intuition. Key figures of this movement included Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Margaret Fuller. Transcendentalists sought to transcend the limits of knowledge and experience through introspection and by connecting with the divine through nature.
