Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "The Complete Novels of Nathaniel Hawthorne (Illustrated)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Excerpts: "It contributes greatly towards a man's moral and intellectual health, to be brought into habits of companionship with individuals unlike himself, who care little for his pursuits, and whose sphere and abilities he must go out of himself to appreciate." (The Custom House, The Scarlet Letter) "The aspect of the venerable mansion has always affected me like a human countenance, bearing the traces not merely of outward storm and sunshine, but expressive also, of the long lapse of mortal life, and accompanying vicissitudes that have passed within." (The House of the Seven Gables) American novelist and short story writer Nathaniel Hawthorne's (1804–1864) writing centres on New England, many works featuring moral allegories with a Puritan inspiration. His fiction works are considered to be part of the Romantic movement and, more specifically, Dark romanticism. His themes often centre on the inherent evil and sin of humanity, and his works often have moral messages and deep psychological complexity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process of Hawthorne's scholarly canonization, and the ongoing critical and cultural discourse on his works. Nathaniel Hawthorne, celebrated in his own day for sketches that now seem sentimental, came only gradually to be fully appreciated for what his friend Herman Melville diagnosed as the "power of blackness" in his fiction - the complex moral grappling with sin and guilt. By the 1850s, Hawthorne had already been accepted into the American canon, and since then, his works - especially The Scarlet Letter -- have remained ubiquitous in American culture. Along with this has come an explosion of Hawthorne criticism, from New Criticism, New Historicism, and Cultural Studies to queer theory, feminist scholarship, and transatlantic criticism, that shows no signs of slowing. This book charts Hawthorne's canonization and the ongoing critical discourse, drawing on two senses of "entanglement." First the sense from quantum physics, which allows us to see what were once seen as strict dualisms in Hawthorne as more complex relations where the poles of the would-be dualities play off of and affect each other; second, the sense of critics being tangled up in, caught up in, Hawthorne the man and his work and in previous critics' views of him. Charting the course of Hawthorne criticism as well as his place in popular culture, this book sheds light also on the culture in which his reception has occurred. Samuel Chase Coale is Professor of American Literature and Culture at Wheaton College, Norton, Massachusetts.

Book excerpt: Attempting to correct conventional critical perspectives that diminish the significance of religious elements found throughout Nathaniel Hawthorne's fiction, this project seeks to both defend Hawthorne against suspicions of moral ambivalence respecting his conception and treatment of sin, and to characterize the nature of Hawthorne's understanding of sin in his novels and tales as essentially traditional, yet paradoxical. In the opening chapter, critics who follow Henry James in questioning the earnestness of Hawthorne's handling of sin are answered with evidence from The Scarlet Letter and The Marble Faun , novels about sin that contain central characters who, while grappling with guilt, view themselves as sinners. The following chapter argues that Hawthorne's recurring interest in the fall and original sin in his short fiction and finally in his last published novel serves as further proof of Hawthorne's religious sincerity. Rejecting The Marble Faun as a meditation on felix culpa , the novel is rather shown to portray human nature as a fallen middle estate between the innocent beasts and holy angels. In the subsequent chapter, the three novels preceding The Marble Faun are shown to illustrate themes relating to social sins, such as deceit, greed, and exploitation, revealing an author deeply concerned with the subject of sin from a distinctly Christian outlook. That Hawthorne appears to maintain a firm belief in the depravity of man, a Calvinist proposition, while espousing a view of redemption calling for human effort more than divine assistance, a Unitarian tenet, indicates the author's full statement on sin and redemption radiates paradox. Reviewing noteworthy tales and sketches as further confirmation of what is found in the published novels, the final chapter suggests this inherent paradox of sin and redemption sheds light on the mystery of thematic ambiguity characterizing much of Hawthorne's fictional work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mixture of hostility and fascination with which native-born Protestants viewed the "foreign" practices of the "immigrant" church is the focus of Jenny Franchot's cultural, literary, and religious history of Protestant attitudes toward Roman Catholicism in nineteenth-century America. Franchot analyzes the effects of religious attitudes on historical ideas about America's origins and destiny. She then focuses on the popular tales of convent incarceration, with their Protestant "maidens" and lecherous, tyrannical Church superiors. Religious captivity narratives, like those of Indian captivity, were part of the ethnically, theologically, and sexually charged discourse of Protestant nativism. Discussions of Stowe, Longfellow, Hawthorne, and Lowell—writers who sympathized with "Romanism" and used its imaginative properties in their fiction—further demonstrate the profound influence of religious forces on American national character. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1994.

Download or read book The Function of Ambiguity in Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Marble Faun written by Marvin Clark Sather and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its publication in 1860, The Marble Faun has been the subject of much controversy. Most criticism of the romance attacks its many unsolved mysteries. Many early critics felt that Hawthorne did not come to any definite conclusions. In answer to them, he wrote a "Postscript" in which he restated that it was absolutely essential that The Marble Faun have an air of inconclusiveness about it. Modern critics have found the romance distasteful, too; they are particularly unhappy with Hawthorne's many detailed descriptions of Italian art, while his characters seem too insubstantial. Most of their criticism is directed toward Hilda; she is simply too pure for the reader. The problem, therefore, is to re-examine The Marble Faun to determine whether or not Hawthorne's deliberate attempt at ambiguity can be made meaningful to the reader. To solve this problem, a certain procedure needed to be formulated. After reading the novel and surveying the critical analyses of the romance, I concluded that certain areas of study were of particular importance-- Hawthorne's choice of genre, the Italian setting and its impact of characterization, the symbolism of art, and the theme of the Fortunate Fall. All these areas were often mentioned by critics as being both important to an interpretation of the work and important in that there were divergent views held concerning Hawthorne's intent. Having completed these studies, several conclusions become apparent. First, modern critics err when they analyze The Marble Faun as a novel; it must be read as a romance as Hawthorne intended. Secondly, since Hawthorne leaves so many question unanswered, he must have had a specific purpose in mind. Finally, and most importantly, this ambiguity, when interpreted as being Hawthorne's purpose, makes the romance meaningful: Hawthorne uses ambiguity to reveal the complexity of humanity and the dilemma man faces in achieving a unified view of existence.

Download or read book The American Classics written by Denis Donoghue and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is a classic book to be defined? How much time must elapse before a work may be judged a “classic”? And among all the works of American literature, which deserve the designation? In this provocative new book Denis Donoghue essays to answer these questions. He presents his own short list of “relative” classics--works whose appeal may not be universal but which nonetheless have occupied an important place in our culture for more than a century. These books have survived the abuses of time—neglect, contempt, indifference, willful readings, excesses of praise, and hyperbole. Donoghue bestows the term classic on just five American works: Melville’s Moby-Dick, Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, Thoreau’s Walden, Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, and Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Examining each in a separate chapter, he discusses how the writings have been received and interpreted, and he offers his own contemporary readings, suggesting, for example, that in the post–9/11 era, Moby-Dick may be rewardingly read as a revenge tragedy. Donoghue extends an irresistible invitation to open the pages of these American classics again, demonstrating with wit and acuity how very much they have to say to us now.
