As the author of The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne has
been established as a major writer of the nineteenth century and
the most prominent chronicler of New England and its colonial
history. This introductory book for students coming to Hawthorne
for the first time outlines his life and writings in a clear and
accessible style. Leland S. Person also explains some of the
significant cultural and social movements that influenced
Hawthorne''s most important writings: Puritanism, Transcendentalism
and Feminism. The major works, including The Scarlet Letter, The
House of the Seven Gables and The Blithedale Romance, as well as
Hawthorne''s important short stories and non-fiction, are analysed
in detail. The book also includes a brief history and survey of
Hawthorne scholarship, with special emphasis on recent studies.
Students of nineteenth-century American literature will find this a
rewarding and engaging introduction to this remarkable writer.
