Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
'he Transcendentalist movement was a reaction against 18th century rationalism and a manifestation of the general humanitarian trend of 19th century thought!. The movement was based on a fundamental belief in the unity of the world and God!. The soul of each individual was thought to be identical with the world -- a microcosm of the world itself!. The doctrine of self-reliance and individualism developed through the belief in the identification of the individual soul with God!."

"Transcendentalism was a group of new ideas in literature, religion, culture, and philosophy that emerged in New England in the early to middle 19th century!. It is sometimes called American transcendentalism to distinguish it from other uses of the word transcendental!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

It kind of differs depending on where you look or who you ask!. I've seen it said to have started anywhere between 1830 and 1836 and end between 1855 and 1860!. I've more commonly seen 1836 to 1860 though, but it was mostly early to mid 19th century!. It basically started in Concord, Massachusetts and stemmed from the belief in a higher reality than that found in sense experience, or in a higher kind of knowledge than that achieved by human reason!. !_!Www@QuestionHome@Com
