Hawthorne's Habitations - A Literary Life (Hardcover)

The first literary/biographical study of Hawthorne's full career in
almost forty years, Hawthorne's Habitations presents a self-divided
man and writer strongly attracted to reality for its own sake and
remarkably adept at rendering it yet fearful of the nothingness he
intuited at its heart. Making extensive use of Hawthorne's
notebooks and letters as well as nearly all of his important
fiction, Robert Milder's superb intellectual biography
distinguishes between "two Hawthornes," then maps them onto the
physical and cultural locales that were formative for Hawthorne's
character and work: Salem, Massachusetts, Hawthorne's ancestral
home and ingrained point of reference; Concord, Massachusetts,
where came into contact with Emerson, Thoreau, and Margaret Fuller
and absorbed the Adamic spirit of the American Renaissance;
England, where he served for five years as consul in Liverpool,
incorporating an element of Englishness; and Italy, where he found
himself, like Henry James's expatriate Americans, confronted by an
older, denser civilization morally and culturally at variance with
his own.
