Transcendentalism was centered on writers and thinkers from which region

Transcendentalism was centered on writers and thinkers from New England.

Transcendentalism was an American philosophical, political and literary movement that flourished roughly between 1836 and 1860. It began as a reform movement within the Unitarian Church that sought to extend the application of William Ellery Channing's thought about the internal God and the significance of the intuitive thinking. For transcendentalists, the soul of each individual is identical to the soul of the world and contains what the world contains. The transcendentalists worked with the feeling that the advent of a new era was within reach.

The main figures of the movement were Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Margaret Fuller, Amos Bronson Alcott and Louisa May Alcott, all from New England.
