This book contains a compact study of transcendentalism as a religious movement and its impact on the sociopolitical arenas around the globe, particularly in America where it emerged in its full adolescence and got to maturity. The book is meant to provide the researchers in religious studies with the essentialities and the essence of spirituality and its collaboration with social environment. The book is also meant to reveal the influence of religion and spirituality on literature and how they found there way into the writings of great scholars. Hope the book will be of great benefit to those who desire to determine the role of religion in the materialistically dominated scenario of today.
