Transcendentalism influence a number of important American writers, which has helped to create a national literary identity. Three at these man were Herman Melville,Nathaniel Hawthorne, and American artist from the Hudson River School, who focused on the American landscape and the importance of communing with nature. The transcendentalists believed in the union of god and the world that everything in the world results from God, and God can be found in everything. This includes the soul of every human being in which divinity is present. Because of the belief in their own divine soul the Transcendentalists developed a strong self-reliance and individualism beyond external authority, tradition and logical demonstration which resulted in the absolute optimism of the movement. Emerson published some important Works for the movement such as the essays “Nature” (1836) and ‘Self-reliance’ (1841) and the poem ‘Concord Hymn’. Emerson was a very optimistic man and did not believe that anything evil existed in the world. “When a man lives with God, his voice shall be as sweet as the murmur of the brook and the rustle of the corn.”
