1 Anti-Transcendentalism

2 Anti-Transcendentalism
a small philosophical movement predominantly consisting of only two writers: Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melville. Hawthorne and Melville are considered two of the great fiction writers of their time, and together they stood up in opposition to Transcendentalism: what they felt was impractical perspective.
