ELI5: Transcendentalism

We're working on this topic in English and I have no idea what it is! Can someone explain this to me please? I need to know who some modern Transcendentalists are and how contemporary society reflects Transcendentalist ideas. Thank you!

God created the world, but sorta blew himself up to do it. therefore, God is in every part of nature. what is perfect and pure and beautiful is nature. and nature is God. if you want to get closer to God, then spend time in nature.

Keats (a Transcendentalist): Beauty is truth, truth beauty. That is all ye know on earth and all ye need to know.

read Poe's "Eureka" and Thoreau.
