1840 CE to 1851 CE
The Transcendentalist movement, led by Ralph Waldo Emerson, is primarily concerned with personal freedom.
Transcendentalists are strong believers in the power of the individual.
Their beliefs are closely linked with those of the Romantics, but differ by an attempt to embrace or, at least, to not oppose the empiricism of science.
