520 |a Few movements in American social and intellectual history have been as influential as the cluster of ideas which have come to be called Transcendentalism. From Ralph Waldo Emerson's "self-reliant soul" and Henry David Thoreau's "different drummer" to modern ideas about individualism and democracy, Transcendentalism has had a powerful impact on central aspects of American life.
