Is Stephen King an anti-transcendentalist

Answer 1

No he's not, though he may appear to be. He loves to read and write, and transcendentalism inspired those two arts immensely. However, he likes his authors (Richard Matheson, John D. MacDonald, Elmore Leonard, EA Poe), and he's a Horror novelist not a transcendentalist.

Answer 2

Stephen King is not considered an anti-transcendentalist. His works often explore themes of the supernatural, horror, and the darker aspects of human nature, but they do not align with the anti-transcendentalist movement of the 19th century, which focused on the limitations and flaws of humanity.
