Summary

This book is a study of the efforts of the Transcendentalists of the New England Renaissance to reform the Unitarian church. Although the basic religious orientation of the Transcendentalist movement has been generally agreed on, Dr. Hutchinson believes that it was far more than a tendency to appraise the universe in terms of an intuitive faith.
