It's been years since I last read The House of the Seven Gables, and even longer since I've read The Scarlet Letter, so this was a pleasant reintroduction to Hawthorne. The collection is pretty uniformly great, but there are a few standouts that are even better than their fellow stories: "The Artist of the Beautiful, "Ethan Brand," and "Rappacini's Daughter" are my favorites. Definitely worth reading if you're interested in American literature, and it made me want to reread his novels. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
The short fiction of a writer who helped to shape the course of American literature. With a determined commitment to the history of his native land, Nathaniel Hawthorne revealed, more incisively than any writer of his generation, the nature of a distinctly American consciousness. The pieces collected here deal with essentially American matters: the Puritan past, the Indians, the Revolution. But Hawthorne was highly - often wickedly - unorthodox in his account of life in early America, and his precisely constructed plots quickly engage the reader's imagination. Written in the 1820s, 30s, and 40s, these works are informed by themes that reappear in Hawthorne's longer works: The Scarlet Letter, The House of the Seven Gables and The Blithedale Romance. And, as Michael J. Colacurcio points out in his excellent introduction, they are themes that are now deeply embedded in the American literary tradition. No library descriptions found. |
