Nathaniel Hawthorne remains one of the most widely read and taught of American authors.

Combining cultural criticism with historical scholarship, this volume addresses a wide range of topics relevant to Hawthorne's work, including his relationship to slavery, children, mesmerism, and the visual arts.
