Transcendentalism
Transcendentalism emphasized connecting with nature on a spiritual level to find deeper truths. It valued individualism and believed that society could corrupt people by focusing on materialism. Transcendentalist authors like Thoreau and Emerson sought the essential truths of life by living deliberately and being true to oneself rather than conforming to society. They found inspiration and meaning in nature and advocated nonconformity.

Some key uses include Shakespeare's plays, Milton's Paradise Lost, and Romantic poems like Wordsworth's Prelude. Blank verse allows for flexibility and natural syntax while maintaining a rhythmic structure.
