Ralph Waldo Emerson is strongly linked to Transcendentalism, a spiritual and philosophical movement that gained a great deal of popularity in mid-nineteenth-century America. Like his acclaimed essays, Emerson's poetry is deeply rooted in the beauty of the natural world, extolling the virtues of independence, clarity of thought and self-reliance.
