The Transcendentalist Generation was the first generation of Americans born in the republic established by the Constitution of the United States. They were born from 1789 to 1819. They would draw much inspiration from the previous generation (The Founding Generation), but would break from the rationalist approach of the founders, to emphasize instead the non-verbal romanticism and spiritualism inspired by Hindu and Buddhist thought.
