Purchase options and add-ons

Nathaniel Hawthorne’s best-loved tales are now available in a revised Norton Critical Edition.

This revised Norton Critical Edition brings together twenty-three of Hawthorne’s tales in all their psychological and moral complexity. The Second Edition adds the early biographical sketch "Mrs. Hutchinson" as well as two tales, “The Wives of the Dead" and "Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment." Each tale is accompanied by explanatory annotations.

"The Author on His Work" contains the prefaces Hawthorne wrote for the three collections of tales published during his lifetime―The Old Manse, Twice-Told Tales, and The Snow Image. Also included are pertinent selections from his American Notebooks and relevant letters to, among others, Sophia Peabody, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Margaret Fuller.

"Criticism" offers important contemporary assessments of Hawthorne’s tales by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Edgar Allan Poe, Margaret Fuller (new to the Second Edition), James Russell Lowell, Herman Melville, and Henry James. Modern criticism is well represented by twelve essays―four of them new to the Second Edition―on the tales’ central issues. Contributors include Jorge Louis Borges, J. Hillis Miller, Judith Fetterley, Nina Baym, Leo Marx, and Martin Bidney, among others.

A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are also included.

Born on the fourth of July in 1804, Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote the stories that lie at the heart of the American Romantic movement. His portraits of colonial life reflect his Puritan heritage and offer fascinating profiles of individuals who strive for freedom from social conventions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes contemporary writes appear weak and old hat
Reviewed in the United States on 26 March 2016

Every story comes alive. I can picture who and what he describes. As with all writing, I try to pick up on foreshadowing to help me see where we are going with a story. Hawthorne may take you down an expected path but it never leads where you thought you were going to go.

Having read about half the stories thus far, my favorites are Young Goodman Brown (I walked away with a completely different idea of what the story was about than what some of the loftiest of critics think) and Earth's Holocaust (brilliant perception and fabulous balance of pros and cons of ridding the earth of things which some believe causes all the pain and suffering while others believe they are the source of its greatest joys and pleasures. I loved how the Bible would not burn and Shakespeare was believed to have survived, how alcohol and weapons were both reviled and validated.),

The footnotes are incredibly helpful in understanding context, culture, history, etc. The letters and contemporary criticisms add to the experience. As with all good writing (and movies), I think of the stories for many days and weeks after I finish them.

Je ne suis pas particulièrement fan de Nathaniel Hawthorne, c'est une lecture pour les cours mais ces nouvelles ont le mérite d'être courtes. Un bon investissement pour ceux qui s'intéressent au romantisme américain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Interesting Book...
Reviewed in Italy on 28 October 2015

Libro molto interessante, ordinato in quanto in programma per un esame universitario ma adatto a chiunque, anche al di fuori di corsi di studio, voglia avvicinarsi a uno scrittore come Nathaniel Hawthorne per una lettura non superficiale. Note curate, reparto saggistico nella seconda metà del libro interessante quanto i racconti stessi. Consegna rapida la ciliegina sulla torta
