reviewed The Cambridge Introduction to Nathaniel Hawthorne on March 24, 2013 The Cambridge Introduction to Nathaniel Hawthorne
This little book is more of an introduction to topics in recent Hawthorne studies than it is an introduction to Hawthorne's work. It is NOT directed towards readers with little or no experience reading Hawthorne. The focus, rather, is placing Hawthorne's work in its own 19th century time and showing the influence of contemporary events and ideas on Hawthorne's writing. Person discusses all of Hawthorne's work, not just The Scarlet Letter. Highlights include a rich and full discussion of a sampling of the tales and a very informative tour through recent criticism beginning in the 1990's through our present time.
Don't get the idea, though, that Person's approach is dry. He does a fine job of appreciating Hawthorne's story-telling skills and making them speak to modern readers.
I really didn't care much for Hawthorne's work before reading this book. This little guide has given me renewed appreciation of The Scarlet Letter and some of the tales. My only caveat is that readers should have read The Scarlet Letter and some of the tales several times and struggled with them before reading this book. It is NOT (as before said) an entry-level introduction to Hawthorne's work but rather an intermediate-level discussion of current trends in Hawthorne studies.
