Nathaniel Hawthorne's status as an artist rests as much on The
Scarlet Letter as on his short fictions. It is both telling and
appropriate that academic research in the short story should be
dated to Mary Rohrberger's study Hawthorne and the Modern Short
Story, published in 1966. The present volume adds to this discourse
with contributions by Paulina Ambrozy, Katarzyna Kuczma, Joseph
Kuhn, David Malcolm, Marek Paryz, Janusz Semrau, Pawel Stachura,
and Marek Wilczynski. Represented here are some of the most
widely-known stories, such as "My Kinsman, Major Molineux",
"Wakefield", "Roger Malvin's Burial", "Ethan Brand", "The Great
Stone Face", and some of the less widely-known ones, such as
"Legends of the Province-House", "The Haunted Mind", "The Threefold
Destiny", "Foot-prints on the Sea-shore". The individual essays
discuss Hawthorne's texts in quasi-generic terms, through some
persistent American themes and motifs, as well as for their
aesthetic, philosophical, and existential meanings. The readings
draw ideological and theoretical support from the thought of
Emerson, Hegel, Trilling, de Certeau, Freud, Heidegger, Lacan, and
Derrida.
