PERHAPS HIS MOST IMPORTANT WRITINGS. AEmerson founded the Transcendentalist movement in America with the publication of his famous book NATURE in 1836. It was a movement which found a great following throughout the latter half of the 19th century influencing literature and philosophy both in America and abroad. In the 1960 s the movement was rediscovered and has remained an important factor in American life ever since, influencing the back to the earth ideologies, the environmental movements and modern day politics in the United States. Emerson lived in Concord, Massachusetts alongside the other famous inhabitants of the town. Thoreau was a close friend of both his and Mrs. Emerson s.
