Description

American Romanticism, Education, and Social Reform argues that American Transcendentalism was an attempt to institutionalize and popularize Romantic literary practice. The Transcendentalists tried to make Romantic education "the generating idea of society itself," so self-reliance needed to become a cultural practice available to everyone.
