^^ I don't have books describing the subject, however I know some authors, poets, artists and such that can give you the general feel of it.

Percy Shelley, William Wordsworth, Ralph Waldo Emmerson, Walt Whitman, William Blake, and John Keats were some that I have studied. My personal favorites are Wordsworth and his Lines composed a few miles above Tintern Abbey and Blake's Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience. Blake was also an artist, and yes that was his Dragon in Red Dragon.

My favorite artist of the period was Casper David Frederick. My avatar comes from his "Wanderer above the Sea of Mists." Many of his works have this style.

Just from Google I can find many articles about the transcendentalist movement and what it meant then and now, however, I cannot find and general books on it. Sorry.

EDIT: Frederick's name can also be spelled Friedrich. I have all my notes spelled like this, sites have it spelled both ways. And the avatar hasn't been Casper's Wander for a while now.
