In the spring of 1999, graduate students in Virginia Commonwealth University English Professor Ann Woodlief's class in Studies in American Transcendentalism created this interlinked hypertext site devoted to transcendentalist discourse.

Features at the site, a work in progress, include biographical sketches of important thinkers, collections of essays analyzing transcendentalism's history and literary merits, and information on the movement's forerunners and its legacy. Scholars are invited to contribute their own papers and Web sites to the online archive.
