Transcendentalism was a philosophical and religious movement developed in the Eastern part of the United States. The followers of this movement believed that society corrupt the purity of the individual and it was essentially a reaction against rationalism and promoted the individualism.
Transcendentalists believe that work should be meaningful and contribute to personal growth and self-realization rather than just a means to achieve material success. They emphasize the importance of following one's passion and inner calling to achieve a sense of fulfillment and purpose in life, rather than pursuing success defined by societal standards.

A philosophical movement and theory of literary criticism.
Romanticism is the movement that emphasized individuality in both art and politics, and influenced early American literature. Romanticism was not only a literary movement, but a broad artistic, social and philosophical movement. It encompassed the spirit of Europe in the latter half of the 18th century, and its influence is still felt today. The Romantic poet Lord Byron, for example, had a deep influence on philosophers like Nietzsche, whose philosophical writings in turn helped shape the beliefs of mainland Europeans in the 19th and 20th centuries. Important early American writers such as Washington Irving and Edgar Allan Poe were deeply influenced by Romanticism, and the Transcendentalist movement, which emerged around the mid 19th century, mirrors many of Romanticism's sympathies.
