Description

The marriage of Nathaniel and Sophia Hawthorne, for their contemporaries a model of true love and married happiness, was also a scene of revulsion and combat. This book reveals the tragic conflicts beneath the Hawthorne's ideal of domestic fulfillment and shows how their marriage reflected the tensions within 19th-century society. In doing so, it sheds light on Hawthorne's fiction, with its obsessive themes of guilt and grief, balked feminism and homosexual seduction, adultery, patricide and incest.
