520    New England Transcendentalism was a vibrant and many-sided
       movement whose members are probably best remembered for 
       their utopian experiments, their attempts to reconcile the
       contingent world of history with what they perceived as 
       the stable and patterned world of nature. Richard Francis 
       has written the first book to explore in detail the 
       ideological basis of the three famous experiments during 
       the 1840s: Brook Farm, Fruitlands, and Henry David 
       Thoreau's "community of one" on the shores of Walden 
       Pond.Francis suggests that at the heart of 
       Transcendentalism was a belief that all phenomena are 
       connected in a repetitive sequence. The task was to 
       explain how human society could be reordered to benefit 
       from this seriality. Some members of the movement believed
       in evolutionary progress, whereas others hoped to be the 
       agents of a sudden millennial transformation. They 
       differed, as well, in their views as to whether the 
       fundamental social unit was the individual, the family, 
       the phalanstery, or the community. The story of the three 
       communities was, inevitably, also the story of particular 
       individuals, and Francis highlights the lives and ideas of
       such leaders as George Ripley, W. H. Channing, Bronson 
       Alcott, Charles Lane, and Theodore Parker. The consistent 
       underlying beliefs of the New England Transcendentalists 
       have exerted a powerful influence on American intellectual
       and cultural history ever since.
