| Summary |
A key figure in the development of American literature, nineteenth-century novelist and short-story writer Nathaniel Hawthorne is perhaps best known for his novels The Scarlet Letter, The Marble Faun, and The House of the Seven Gables. Hawthorne, perhaps more so than any other writer of his time, continued in the English literary tradition while taking as his subject the early history of New England. His fiction treated a variety of themes and often explored the hidden motivations of his characters. This book presents a collection of critical essays on Nathaniel Hawthorne's work. |
