Following on the heels of "The Scarlet Letter," "The House of
the Seven Gables" was intended to be a far sunnier book than its
predecessor and one that would illustrate "the folly" of tumbling
down on posterity "an avalanche of ill-gotten gold, or real
estate." Many critics have faulted the novel for its explaining
away of hereditary guilt or its contradictory denial of it. Denis
Donoghue instructs the reader in a fresh appreciation of the
novel.
The John Harvard Library edition reproduces the authoritative
text of "The House of the Seven Gables" in the "Centenary Edition
of the Works of Nathaniel Hawthorne."
