Abstract
This paper describes one of the shortest, but very prolific movements in the history of American literature – Transcedentalism. Transcendentalism came into existence in the first half of the nineteenth century as an endeavour to create, and develop a real American literature. However, transcendentalism has lived to see changes in society as well as in the course of philosophical, and religious thought of the time in which it occurred. In order to really understand the main tenets of the movement, it is important to get to know better the changes which influenced transcendentalism itself. Another essential element of this research is to explain how the whole literary movement influenced not only the American society, but also the overall history of the human knowledge. Finally, it represents in more detail two great authors, and thinkers of transcendentalism – Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Their immense contribution to the understanding of the spiritual concept hidden behind this movement is worth of every respect, and admiration.
