Response to class lecture on Transcendentalism

Before this class i never heard of transcendentalism. Transcendentalism was a movement in the 19th century where philosophers would connect events and opinions to nature and the human spirit.  We read a bunch of pieces from authors from this period and they were really unique. After reading a few you could really see the pattern they show in their pieces. I think if i was given a story to read and asked if the author was a transcendentalist i would be able to easily choose. Brady taught us this very well. To be able to present a topic that was never heard of by most students and have us understand it so in depth was truley remarkably. They way she explained it and how it works was perfect and i don't think one student left that class with any confusion on what transcendentalism was.  Bravo Brady bravo.
