The Blithedale Romance: Their History and Various Breeds - To Which Is Added the Dairy. de Nathaniel Hawthorne

The Blithedale Romance: Their History and Various Breeds - To Which Is Added the Dairy.

Autor Nathaniel Hawthorne
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 oct 2008
INTRODUCTORY NOTE AFTER the publication of The Scarlet Letter, the Hawthornes moved from Satem to Lenox, where they stayed for a year and a half, the cottage which they occupied being familiarly called the Red House. The house was burned in 1890, but by that time had become a spot to which literary pilgrimages were made. The scene was thus described by a Stockbridge paper not long after the fire - Drive along a lonely winding road through a homely New England district several hundred yards west of the pretentious mansions of Stockbridge, pass through a breezy open patch of pines, and one comes to a characteristic hillside New England orchard, the branches of whose trees just now are bright with ripening red apples. On the hill-slope in the middle of the orchard and overlooking the famous Stockbridge Bowl - a round deep tarn among the hills - are the brick cellar walls and brick underpinning of what was a very humble dwelling - the Hawthorne Cottage. About the ruins is a quiet, modest, New England neighborhood. There is not much to see at the site of the Hawthorne Cottage, yet every day fashionable folk from New York and Boston and a score of western cities drive thither with fine equipages and jingling harness, halt, and look curiously for a minute or two at the green turf of the dooryard and the crumbling brick walls of the cottage site. Mrs. Lathrop reports her father as saying that it was difficult for him to write in the presence of such a view as the littIe Red House commanded but certainly the conditions under which he wrote otherwise were most favorable. Fame had come to him, and with it the sense of stability in fortune. Here his youngest child was born, and all his children led a free, joyous life. Health reigned in the household, and the country society was of a high order, whiIe the author of repute was now drawing to himself friends in the guild. Mrs. Hawthorne writes to her mother Just now, Dr. Holmes and Mr. Uphams son Charles drove up. They came in, a few -moments. First came Dr. Holmes, to peep at the Lake through the boudoir window, - for he was afraid to leave the horse, even tied then he went out for Charles to come in and Mr. Hawthorne insisted upon holding the horse, and having them both come in. When Dr. Holmes went back, he Iaughed to see Mr...

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Based on Hawthorne's own experience of a Utopian socialist community outside Boston, The Blithedale Romance tells of the attempts of a like-minded group to begin reforming a dissipated America. However, rather than dropping bad habits and changing the world, Coverdale the prurient bachelor, Hollingsworth the furious philanthropist, Zenobia the voluptuous feminist, and Priscilla the vulnerable seamstress soon find themselves pursuing egotistical paths which must lead ultimately to tragedy. Evoking a bright rural idyll which fails to survive the ravages of lust and power, Hawthorne cynically undermines the fatuities of nineteenth-century American idealism. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Notă biografică

Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804 - 1864) was an American novelist, dark romantic and short story writer. He was born in 1804 in Salem, Massachusetts to Nathaniel Hathorne and the former Elizabeth Clarke Manning. His ancestors include John Hathorne, the only judge involved in the Salem witch trials who never repented of his actions. He entered Bowdoin College in 1821, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in 1824 and graduated in 1825. He published his first work in 1828, the novel Fanshawe; he later tried to suppress it, feeling that it was not equal to the standard of his later work. He published several short stories in periodicals, which he collected in 1837 as Twice-Told Tales. The next year, he became engaged to Sophia Peabody. He worked at the Boston Custom House and joined Brook Farm, a transcendentalist community, before marrying Peabody in 1842. The Scarlet Letter was published in 1850, followed by a succession of other novels. A political appointment as consul took Hawthorne and family to Europe before their return to Concord in 1860. Hawthorne died on May 19, 1864, and was survived by his wife and their three children. Much of Hawthorne's writing centers on New England, many works featuring moral metaphors with an anti-Puritan inspiration. His fiction works are considered part of the Romantic movement and, more specifically, dark romanticism. His themes often center on the inherent evil and sin of humanity and his works often have moral messages and deep psychological complexity. His published works include novels, short stories and a biography of his college friend Franklin Pierce, the 14th President of the United States.
