Thoreau's Life Without Principle is really an essay on his program for a righteous living. One of his recommendations for a good living is to not comfort oneself in religion. This is something that can be found in the Renaissance era, but this is during the Romanticism era when people were turning to Protestant denominations. I would say that some of Thoreau's writings contradict Romanticism values.

Thoreau's dedication to humanity and its ability to adapt is utterly amazing. Walden, a book where he became a total and complete isolationist
I believe he is alternate to most romanticism writers do to his isolationist attitudes and anti-social depression with him his entire life.
