6:27 In the 1830s, a group of young people in New England began a revolution unlike many other revolutions that had been. This one involved no physical weaponry. Instead, as a leading revolutionary Ralph Waldo Emerson noted years later, "the young men were born with knives in their brain a tendency to introversion, self dissection and anatomize new motives." Transcendentalism was an intellectual, semi-religious movement that emerged in New England a roughly the same period as romanticism's heyday in American literature in the late 1820s and 30s. The basic idea of transcendentalism is the exploration of a naturalistic and unstructured spirituality. 12:16 Rather than getting entangled and proving or disproving doctrine, Transcendentalist emphasized forming a close relationship with God and the universe by relying on the personal intuition rather than the external tuition. Emerson spoke feelingly on disregarding any external forces that ran against the grain of individual intuition, which he described as revelation for the present age. Compared to personal witness of divine truth, external mandates proofs and miracles were inferior evidences of religion. The Romanticist's fascination with nature was echoed by the Transcendentalists who respected nature as a place removed from the corrupting interference of human society. Transcendentalists believed God could be found everywhere but that it was easier to connect with him in a natural setting. Transcendentalism came down to spirituality, instead of physicality, the idea of forming spiritual connections to your inner self to God and to the universe in order to transcend the mundane distractions of physical existence. These ideas inform the writings of authors for years to come. Walt Whitman's "Leaves of Grass," for example. explored the poet's relationship with the broad universe.

Thanks for the reply...I will use the script for my students to use as background material too.

[@clemencelortal5147]

please don’t as the student sent by teacher please dont

[@northwind9657]

Excellent presentation! Transcendentalism, with the benefit of knowing some of the gnostic documents, would be the same. There seems not separation of the two although in BC Palestine literature was not a concept but the personal experience is primary. With these concepts in mind the cowboy is a transcendentalist in a lot of ways, and although I don't particularly like what the western is as a genre, I have experimented with the genre recently with surrogating English Romantics and transcendentalism in my POV character. I am finished with the work and came across your excellent expose here. I'll thank you in my acknowledgment if this is your original material. Live long and prosper, young man. You are brilliant!

[@Jeppau]

This is my original presentation. I made it for a college presentation on literary history. I am interested in reading your work.

[@northwind9657]

Jeppau Okay, it's yours to read. I just finished and I'm working on a "prelude" instead of a prologue because I'm a musician so form is something that I'm comfortable with from that perspective. But the very themes of the romantics and the transcendentalists I'm dealing with. More of the English Romantics because they were more mad and eloquent. Wordsworth is better quoting than Poe if your mixing it with Emerson. Great job on your presentation and your ending offset of Romanticism and Transcendentalism is extremely important because you've nailed something that I had thought about but not as concisely. I'd be very happy for you to read my piece. It's about 90,000 words. I think one part I will change, but it's not that consequential. Can't send it to you here. You can contact me at [e-mail] What's your major, literature?

[@Jeppau]

North Wind Right, I have sent you off a little email.

[@1cefazio]

Do you have a transcript that students could while listening to your video? Would you be will to share it?

[@Jeppau]

I have our outline for making the video if that helps. docs.google.com/document/d/1yoDe8YsPFAxmIvb7gzPwbO829EZZq4v_85cDaEDglfk/edit?usp=sharing

[@michaelmodugno8790]

thanks so much for the script...will come in handy when I have my American Lit students watch the video and use the script for understanding and further research.

[@Jeppau]

Glad I could help!

[@western840]

Ce Fazio...I don't know how to contact you about the script I have used for this video. I also created an assignment in which students have to apply their understanding of transcendentalism and romanticism to Melville's Bartleby, The Scrivener and Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter.

And what exactly is the difference between Dark Romanticsm and Romanticsm?

[@princess.creep.]

The dark part

[@whatabouttheearth]

Putting a Go Pro on a Hawk = opposite if Romanticism

[@TheRashadd]

it s still hard to distinguish between them but thanks for the helpful video

[@Jeppau]

It is. Mainly because they blend into each other. Just imagine how much they overlapped at the time. Good luck studying!

[@TheRashadd]

I'm studying English literature so I have to know about them. thanks

My teacher is making me write to this video, this is a great way of presenting information though.

[@anikamittal5140]

I was forced to watch this video for LAL and I don’t feel like it, can someone just summarize it in the comments plz

[@dmm3124]

It is just a little bit over 14 minutes, that is sad it you can't sit still for that long. You were "forced" to watch this, either. Grow up and quit being a baby. That was your summary of transcendentalism. The romantic would just cry some and complain.

[@frostfirex7467]

Why is this aspect of United States History is always and I mean ALWAYS looked over and ignored. It's so important to know that the US has always been a nation of new innovating ideas that challenged the status quo of conformity, yet most US citizens are more conformed today than they ever were. US History is now about financiers/bankers and viewing US from a wasteful, hyper-consumerist, hyper-materialistic point_of_view. :( About conquest, control and abusing nature. It's a very depressing subject matter when teachers forget the history that talks about conservation, protecting, honoring, and living with nature aspect of US History. It only points out slavery or the Trail of Tears, only the bad side of US History. It wouldn't look at the side to which there were White Europeans who look up to, admire, respect and even lived beside peacefully with Native Americans and never owned a slave. Transcendentalists seem like the original Bohemians who pave the way for Impressionists, Dadists, Beats, Hippies, Hipsters, Rockers,B-Boys, B-Girls, Rappers, Goths and Punks... just to name a few alternative cultures. This is the side of US History I love and want to know more of... and hopefully teach it to future generations. I would love to teach a US Alternate History class. ^_^

Transcendentalism can be dangerous, depending in circumstances, you could resurrect and become victim of the old vampire legend.
