Book Description
The Cambridge Companion to Nathaniel Hawthorne offers students and teachers an introduction to Hawthorne s fiction and the lively debates that shape Hawthorne studies today. In newly commissioned essays, twelve eminent scholars of American literature introduce readers to key issues in Hawthorne scholarship and deepen our understanding of Hawthorne s writing. Each of the major novels is treated in a separate chapter, while other essays explore Hawthorne s art in relation to a stimulating array of issues and approaches. The essays reveal how Hawthorne s work explores understandings of gender relations and sexuality, of childhood and selfhood, of politics and ethics, of history and modernity. An Introduction and a selected bibliography will help students and teachers understand how Hawthorne has been a crucial figure for each generation of readers of American literature.

Essay from the year 2016 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 12, University of Sheffield, language: English, abstract: This essay discusses how Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter" engages with the role of women in the nineteenth century based on the example of the protagonist, Hester Prynne. A number of critical voices on the topic are analysed, and it will be discussed if, and how, the text portrays women differently than they were wanted to behave when the novel was published in 1850.

Book Description
A major change occurred in the fiction of Nathaniel Hawthorne when he wrote his first noveL The Scarlet Letter. This work included several frrsts for Hawthorne: the advent of a completely new female character type-a dark lady-represented by Hester Prynne, and Hawthorne's placement of this character' front and center-his frrst female protagonist. One wonders what motivated Hawthorne to create this new female type. A primary source of information regarding Hawthorne's attitudes toward women before this change is the plethora of letters he wrote to his wife, Sophia Peabody Hawthorne. Within these letters, Hawthorne constructed idealized versions of Sophia to serve his own personal needs. A series of personal crises, however, changed Hawthorne's ability to retain his belief in the ability of those fictional characters to meet his needs. As a result, Hawthorne began to experiment with the dark lady character. This character is independent, strong, creative and most importantly, unconventional. By opening up to new possibilities, by being willing to inhabit a space of uncertainty and thereby imagine a new kind of woman, Hawthorne was able to achieve a level of artistic success he had never achieved before. Keywords: Nathaniel Hawthorne, feminism, dark lady, fair lady, essentialism, letters, novels.

Book Description
Hawthorne was, with his own complicity, long described as a writer of unreal romances (as he preferred to call his novels) or "allegories of the heart" as he termed some of his short stories. The essays in this collection contribute to the turn in recent Hawthorne criticism which shows how deeply implicated in realism his writing was."--BOOK JACKET.
