Among their leaders was &&LB&&RRalph Waldo Emerson&&L/B&&R, whose essays, lectures, and poems defined the American transcendentalist movement, though he himself disliked the term. &&L/P&&R&&LP&&REmerson advocates a rejection of fear-driven conformity, a total independence of thought and spirit, and a life lived in harmony with nature.
