Abstract

This literary/biographical study of Nathaniel Hawthorne's full career 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 use of Hawthorne's notebooks and letters as well as nearly all of his important fiction, this 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; Concord, Massachusetts; England; and Italy.

Abstract

Reimagining Thoreau synthesises the interests of the intellectual and psychological biographer and the literary critic in a reconsideration of Thoreau's career from his graduation from Harvard in 1837 to his death in 1862. The purposes of the book are threefold: to situate Thoreau's aims and achievements as a writer within the context of his troubled relationship to a microcosm of ante-bellum Concord; to reinterpret Walden as a temporally layered text in light of the successive drafts of the book and the evidence of Thoreau's journals and contemporaneous writings; and, to overturn traditional views of Thoreau's 'decline' by offering a new estimate of the post-Walden writing and its place within Thoreau's development.
