Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Marble Faun mingles fable with fact in a
mysterious tale of American artists liberated from New England
mores in Rome. In his introduction, Andrew Delbanco remarks that
Hawthorne's novel is ultimately less about freedom than its costs.
It is a book "that invites us to observe people in the grip of
guilt, passion, or a naive faith in God or art, and to watch them
seek escape from their fears and doubts as their creed-whatever it
is-fails them." The John Harvard Library edition reproduces the
authoritative text of The Marble Faun in The Centenary Edition of
the Works of Nathaniel Hawthorne. Since 1959 The John Harvard
Library has been instrumental in publishing essential American
writings in authoritative editions.
