However, perhaps his most immediate influence was on American literature. Prolific transcendentalist authors such as Emerson, Thoreau, and Whitman spawned and engendered naturalism and neohumanism. Opposition to Transcendentalism also spawned literary giants such as Edgar Allen Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne, who spent time at Brook Farm. Emily Dickinson has been described as “post-Emersonian or, perhaps even more accurately, a sort of reverse Emersonian.” Poems such as "The brain is broader than the sky" and "How happy is the stone" show this influence of Emerson in themes of individual freedom, the divinity of man, and the simple life. Culturally, the impact of Transcendentalism can be traced to the New Thought and Christian Science movements. Both focused on the mind's ability and positive thinking to cure disease. Phones Pankhurst Quimby, a pioneer in the field, was a self-proclaimed transcendentalist whose goal was "to reveal that the power to heal was the divine wisdom in all of us accessible through intuition." Christian Scientists had no influential philosophers of their kind. They often “plundered” Emerson's thoughts that fit their worldview. Finally, the influence of Transcendentalism can be traced back to the counterculture movements of the 1960s and 1970s. Similar to Thoreau's experiences in Walden, these nonconformists rejected American values ​​of "stable employment, competition, and status seeking" in favor of "meditation, cooperation, sensory gratification" and "peaceful, nonpolitical protest." And even though they lacked the “desire to reform” and were “much less intellectually inclined,” the imprints of mid-1800s Transcendentalism can be seen even in the centuries that followed..
