Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In November, being wearied with inland life, Hawthorne went back to the east, and settled for the winter in West Newton, Massachusetts, where he wrote "The Blithedale Romance." This book is founded on his experience at Brook Farm, ten years before, though the incidents, he says, are purely imaginary, and the characters are but slightly related, if at all, to any of the participants in that scheme. That of Hollingsworth grew, no doubt, out of thoughts suggested by his residence among reformers as to the tendencies of all-absorbing theories of reform, though it needed a strong and narrow nature like that of Hollingsworth to exhibit them in all their force. There are many observations scattered through the book, regarding communistic life, which evidently resulted from his experience there. Miles Coverdale, who tells the story, of course represents the author in many points, if not intended as a portrait. A story told in the first person in a contemplative and analytic style like that of Hawthorne must necessarily reproduce the author to some extent in the mental structure of the narrator. Coverdale is a type of the men who do nothing because they see too much and too widely. Hollingsworth's narrowness is the great source of his power, and in the end becomes his destruction. The character of Zenobia, which is said to have some traits of Margaret Fuller, is one of the strongest ever drawn by Hawthorne, and one of the most unique in literature. Literary women have had but a slender showing in fiction, most of the portraits of them being feeble caricatures. But this one, whose literary work is secondary to her impressive personality, is the type of a class, not large, who have gone into literature because of their abounding vitality and the scarcity of outlets for it; who stand for very little to readers beyond the reach of their social influence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Blithedale Romance is Nathaniel Hawthorne's third novel, one that is sometimes overlooked by readers but is nonetheless considered one of his most critically important works. Hawthorne wrote the novel in 1851 while staying at Horace Mann's house in West Newton, Massachusetts, and published it in 1852.It is the only one of Hawthorne's novels to have a first-person narrator. Coverdale's narration has a dreamlike quality to it, leading many to label the work as a romance.One of the notable aspects of the novel is that it is based off of Hawthorne's own short-lived experience at Brook Farm, where he spent a few months in 1841 (see Additional Content). Many of the characters were based on real people, although they were not perfect likenesses. Scholars continually probe the intersection between fiction and nonfiction, attempting to ascertain what is based on Hawthorne's time at Brook Farm versus what was embellished or invented by the author.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blithedale Romance is Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel, one that is from time to time disregarded with the aid of readers but is however considered certainly one of his most significantly important works. Hawthorne wrote the unconventional in 1851 while staying at Horace Mann's residence in West Newton, Massachusetts, and posted it in 1852.It is the most effective one in all Hawthorne's novels to have a primary-man or woman narrator. Coverdale's narration has a dreamlike excellent to it, main many to label the paintings as a romance.One of the terrific factors of the unconventional is that it is based off of Hawthorne's own quick-lived revel in at Brook Farm, in which he spent a few months in 1841. Many of the characters had been based on real human beings, despite the fact that they had been no longer best likenesses. Scholars usually probe the intersection among fiction and nonfiction, trying to ascertain what is based totally on Hawthorne's time at Brook Farm as opposed to what was embellished or invented by means of the author.Contemporary critics have been not certain that it measured as much as The Scarlet Letter, with some focusing on its tragic nature and the plot being unrealistic.

Many ideas it had a fatal flaw of "the disjunction between its obvious polemical purpose, an exploration of the Brook Farm test, and its real theatrical recognition on performance".
