Born in 1800, Macaulay almost grew into manhood with the great events of the second decade of the century, and first took thought of his History at the time of one of its greatest political struggles.
The path of distinction opened early for him in literary as well as in political work; to a forensic career, he was not drawn, not withstanding his oratorical gifts, his marvellous power of memory and what has been well described as his extraordinary sense of the concrete.
When, in 1834, he accepted a seat on the India council, and, during his residence in India (where he never became domesticated) to 1838, devoted to literature such leisure as he could command, The Edinburgh Review, again, gathered its ripe fruits.

 CliffsNotes::Thoreau, Emerson, and Trancendentalism:Book Summary and Study Guide
Romanticism informed the literature of the period and also gave direction to developments in art, architecture, and music.
Influenced by the intuitive philosophy of Kant, Romantic writers looked at literature as an outpouring of the inner spirit, and saw imagination as the means of summoning this spirit.
In the “Divinity School Address,” delivered at Harvard on July 15, 1838, and first printed in the same year, he exhorted the pursuit of spiritual truth by the individual through intuition rather than through the passive acceptance of traditional religion.

 Transcendentalism
German philosophy and literature was also championed by Thomas Carlyle, whom Emerson met on his first visit to Europe in 1831.
As the nineteenth century came to its mid-point, the transcendentalists' dissatisfaction with their society became focused on policies and actions of the United States government: the treatment of the Native Americans, the war with Mexico, and, above all, the continuing and expanding practice of slavery.
Emerson's 1838 letter to President Martin Van Buren is an early expression of the depth of his despair at actions of his country, in this case the ethnic cleansing of American land east of the Mississippi.
