Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"There is no doubt that this is a new, revisionary approach to Hawthorne. It seeks to locate Hawthorne historically but in a way that will free his work from purely local or ideological considerations."—Edgar A. Dryden, University of Arizona
"Thompson presents us with a network of aesthetic terms whose newness consists of the new level of precision they allow us. Nor does the usefulness of such a new system of critical terms end with Hawthorne: their implications stretch beyond his fiction to that of his American contemporaries, male and female."—Cynthia S. Jordan, Indiana University
