Relationship between Individual and Society in American Literature

Abstract

this article discusses the impact of transcendentalist writers on American society and personal relationships. The mention of the American Enlightenment and the pre-Young Republic suggests a historical context for the influence of transcendentalism. The emphasis on the writers' active participation in social and political life, as well as their direct impact on the country, highlights the significance of their work. Additionally, the focus on the themes of human existence, the relationship between individuals and society, and moral self-improvement aligns with the core principles of transcendentalism.
