Answer 1

Emerson's "Self-Reliance" can be considered an example of Transcendentalist literature because of the theme of individualism.

This movemental that developed in the late 1820s and 1830s in the United States believes in the inherent goodness of people and nature, in the fact that society and institutions have corrupted the purity of the individual, and in the idea that people show their best when they are truly independent and self-reliant.
