The Portable Hawthorne (Penguin Classics)

The Portable Hawthorne (Penguin Classics)

The Portable Hawthorne includes writings from each major stage in the career of Nathaniel Hawthorne: a number of his most intriguing early tales, all of The Scarlet Letter, excerpts from his three subsequently published romancesâ€”The House of Seven Gables, The Blithedale Romance, and The Marble Faunâ€”as well as passages from his European journals and a sampling of his last, unfinished works. The editorâ€™s introduction and head notes trace the evolution of Hawthorneâ€™s writing over the course of his long career: from the tales, to their apotheosis in The Scarlet Letter, through his popular romances, to his private journals and frustrated attempts at another romance. Readers looking for a critical vantage point from which to see Hawthorne wholeâ€”his artistic rise, triumph, and sad declineâ€”can find it in this collection.
