    <![CDATA[This all-new edition of Hawthorne's celebrated 1851 novel is based on The Ohio State University Press's <em>Centenary Edition of the Works of Nathaniel Hawthorne</em>. It is accompanied by thorough explanatory annotations and an insightful introduction to the novel and antebellum culture by Robert S. Levine.<br/><br/>&quot;<strong>Contexts</strong>&quot; brings together a generous selection of primary materials intended to provide readers with background on the novel's central themes. Historical documents include accounts of Salem's history by Thomas Maule, Robert Calef, Joseph B. Felt, and Charles W. Upham, which Hawthorne drew on for <em>The House of the Seven Gables</em>. The importance of the house in antebellum America&#151;as a manifestation of the body, a site of genealogical history, and a symbol of the republic's middle class&#151;is explored through the diverse writings of William Andrus Alcott, Edgar Allan Poe, and J. H. Agnew, among others. The impact of technological developments on the novel, especially of daguerreotypy, is considered through the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Gustave de Beaumont, and Alexis de Tocqueville, among others. Also included are two of Hawthorne's literary sketches&#151;&quot;Alice Doane's Appeal&quot; and &quot;The Old Apple Dealer&quot;&#151;that demonstrate the continuity of Hawthorne's style, from his earlier periodical writing to his later career as a novelist.<br/><br/>&quot;<strong>Criticism</strong>&quot; provides a comprehensive overview of the critical commentary on the novel from its publication to the present. Among the twenty-seven critics represented are Herman Melville, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Henry James, Nina Baym, Eric Sundquist, Richard H. Millington, Alan Trachtenberg, Amy Schrager Lang, and Christopher Castiglia.<br/><br/>A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are also included.<br/><br/><strong>About the Series</strong>: No other series of classic texts equals the caliber of the <strong>Norton Critical Editions</strong>. Each volume combines the most authoritative text available with the comprehensive pedagogical apparatus necessary to appreciate the work fully. Careful editing, first-rate translation, and thorough explanatory annotations allow each text to meet the highest literary standards while remaining accessible to students. Each edition is printed on acid-free paper and every text in the series remains in print. Norton Critical Editions are the choice for excellence in scholarship for students at more than 2,000 universities worldwide.]]>

    <![CDATA[1894. Hawthorne, who, like Edgar Allan Poe, took a dark view of human nature, was a central figure in the American Renaissance. His best-known works include The Scarlet Letter and The House of the Seven Gables. Renouncing the city for a pastoral life, a group of utopians set out to reform a dissipated America. But the group is a powerful mix of competing ambitions and its idealism finds little satisfaction in farmwork. Instead, of changing the world, the members of the Blithedale community individually pursue egotistical paths that ultimately lead to tragedy. Hawthorne's tale both mourns and satirizes a rural idyll not unlike that of nineteenth-century America at large. The Blithedale Romance shadows the Brook Farm, in Roxbury, which was occupied and cultivated by a company of socialists. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.]]>

    <![CDATA[This Norton Critical Edition of Nathaniel Hawthorne's most widely read novel appears during the bicentennial anniversary year of his birth. The text of <em>The Scarlet Letter</em> is based on the 1850 third edition, the first set in stereotype plates and the basis of subsequent printings in Hawthorne's lifetime.    <p>An invaluable selection of contextual material includes five Hawthorne stories that are closely related to <em>The Scarlet Letter</em>, along with relevant letters and notebook entries. A substantial excerpt from Hawthorne's campaign biography of Franklin Pierce offers a revealing glimpse at Hawthorne's political thought, especially regarding slavery and abolition.    <p>&quot;Criticism&quot; provides a comprehensive overview of early and modern commentary on <em>The Scarlet Letter</em> and the stories in this edition, including nineteenth-century reviews of the novel and critical essays by Robert S. Levine, Nina Baym, Larry J. Reynolds, and Jean Fagan Yellin.    <p>A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are also included.    <p><strong>About the Series</strong>: No other series of classic texts equals the caliber of the <strong>Norton Critical Editions</strong>.

    <![CDATA['any narrative of human action and adventure - whether we call it history or Romance - is certain to be a fragile handiwork, more easily rent than mended'  The fragility - and the durability - of human life and art dominate this story of American expatriates in Italy in the mid-nineteenth century. Befriended by Donatello, a young Italian with the classical grace of the 'Marble Faun', Miriam, Hilda, and Kenyon find their pursuit of art taking a sinister turn as Miriam's unhappy past precipitates the present into tragedy.  Hawthorne's 'International Novel' dramatizes the confrontation of the Old World and the New and the uncertain relationship between the 'authentic' and the 'fake', in life as in art.  The author's evocative descriptions of classic sites made The Marble Faun a favourite guidebook to Rome for Victorian tourists, but this richly ambiguous symbolic romance is also the story of a murder, and a parable of the Fall of Man.  As the characters find their civilized existence disrupted by the awful consequences of impulse, Hawthorne leads his readers to question the value of Art and Culture and addresses the great evolutionary debate which was beginning to shake Victorian society.]]>

    <![CDATA[In the interval of silence he stole forward until the light glared full upon his eyes. At one extremity of an open space, hemmed in by the dark wall of the forest, arose a rock, bearing some rude, natural resemblance either to an alter or a pulpit, and surrounded by four blazing pines, their tops aflame, their stems untouched, like candles at an evening meeting. The mass of foliage that had overgrown the summit of the rock was all on fire, blazing high into the night and fitfully illuminating the whole field. Each pendent twig and leafy festoon was in a blaze. As the red light arose and fell, a numerous congregation alternately shone forth, then disappeared in shadow, and again grew, as it were, out of the darkness, peopling the heart of the solitary woods at once.  &quot;A grave and dark-clad company,&quot; quoth Goodman Brown.  In truth they were such.]]>

    <![CDATA[The Scarlet Letter is considered a masterpiece of American literature. A young woman married to a much older man bears an illegitimate child and is sentenced to wear a red A as a badge of shame.   <p>House of Seven Gables is the story of a distinguished but troubled New England family. A centuries old curse, guilt and romance combine to make what Henry James declared &quot;the closest approach we are likely to have to the Great American Novel.&quot;  <p>This classic is available in paperback, hardcover collectable and large type editions.</p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<em>Mosses from an Old Manse</em> is Nathaniel Hawthorne&#8217;s second story collection, first published in 1846 in two volumes and featuring sketches and tales written over a span of more than twenty years, including such classics as &#8220;Young Goodman Brown,&#8221; &#8220;The Birthmark,&#8221; and &#8220;Rappaccini&#8217;s Daughter.&#8221; Herman Melville deemed Hawthorne the American Shakespeare, and Henry James wrote that his early tales possess &#8220;the element of simple genius, the quality of imagination. That is the real charm of Hawthorne&#8217;s writing&#8212;this purity and spontaneity and naturalness of fancy.&#8221;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;These are the ways the world ends. Thirty-four new and selected Doomsday scenarios: an enthralling collection of work by canonical literary figures, contemporary masters, and a few rising stars, all of whom have looked into the future and found it missing. Across boundaries of place and time, these writers celebrate the variety and vitality of the short story as a form by writing their own conclusions to the story of the world. Obliteration has never hurt so good. Contributors include Grace Aguilar, Steve Aylett, Robert Bradley, Dennis Cooper, Lucy Corin, Elliott David, Matthew Derby, Carol Emshwiller, Brian Evenson, Neil Gaiman, Jeff Goldberg, Theodora Goss, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Jared Hohl, Shelley Jackson, Ursula K. Le Guin, Stacey Levine, Tao Lin, Kelly Link, H.P.

    <![CDATA[Here in one volume are all five of Nathaniel Hawthorne's world-famous novels. Written in a richly suggestive style that seems remarkably contemporary, they are permeated by America's and Hawthorne's own history. &quot;The House of the Seven Gables&quot; moves across 150 years from an ancestral crime condoned by the Puritan theocracy to a new beginning in the bustling and democratic Jacksonian era. Hawthorne's masterpiece, &quot;The Scarlet Letter,&quot; is a dramatic allegory of the social consequences of adultery and the subversive force of personal desire in a community of laws. &quot;The Blithedale Romance&quot; explores the perils, which Hawthorne knew at first hand, of living in a utopian community, and the inextricability of political, personal, and sexual desires. &quot;Fanshawe&quot; is an engrossing apprentice work which Hawthorne published anonymously and later sought to suppress. &quot;The Marble Faun,&quot; his last finished novel, involves mystery, murder, and romance among American artists in Rome.]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>Unrivaled diversity and teachability have made <em>The Heath Anthology </em>a best-selling text since the publication of its first edition in 1989. In presenting a more inclusive canon of American literature, <em>The Heath Anthology </em>continues to balance the traditional, leading names in American literature with lesser-known writers and to build upon the anthology's other strengths: its apparatus and its ancillaries. </p><p>Available in five volumes for greater flexibility, the Fifth Edition offers new thematic clusters to stimulate classroom discussions and to show the treatment of important topics across the genres. The indispensable web site includes revised timelines, a multimedia gallery to support thematic clusters, and a searchable Instructor's Guide.</p>&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;The cluster, &quot;Modernism, Lyric Poetry, Facts,&quot; includes poems that challenge the traditional sense of &quot;modernism&quot; as happening with only a few writers in a certain style. &lt;LI&gt;Selections by authors such as Theodore Dreiser, Willa Cather, and Gary Snyder allow students to see the ferment of modern experimentalism in American literature.&lt;/ul&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[In July of 1851, Nathaniel Hawthorne's wife and daughters took a trip to visit relatives. How Hawthorne and his five-year-old son Julian managed in their absence is the subject of this tender and funny excerpt from Hawthorne's notebooks. Each day is spent swimming, skipping stones, picking berries, and subduing armies of thistles. There are lots of questions (&quot;He has baited me with more questions, references, and observations, than mortal father ought to be expected to endure&quot;), crises concerning a pet bunny, and only one moment of grown-up companionship - when Mr. Herman Melville stops by to discuss eternity over cigars. This true-life story by a great American writer emerges from obscurity to shine a delightful light upon family life - then and now. An introduction by noted novelist Paul Auster adds to this intimate portrait.]]>

    <![CDATA[The stories of magic and transformation that we call fairy tales are among the oldest known forms of literature, and many the most popular. &quot;Jack and the Beanstalk,&quot; &quot;Sleeping Beauty,&quot; &quot;Little Red Ridinghood&quot;--these ageless tales seem to have been written an almost magically long time ago.<br/><br/>Yet fairy tales are still being created to this very day.  And while they are principally directed to children and have child protagonists, these modern fairy tales, like the classics, have messages to those of all ages.<br/><br/>In The Oxford Book of Modern Fairy Tales, Alison Lurie has collected forty tales that date from the late nineteenth century up to the present.  Here are trolls and princesses, magic and mayhem, morals to be told and lessons to be learned--all the elements of the classic fairy tale, in new and fantastical trappings. In Charles Dickens's &quot;The Magic Fishbone,&quot; we find an unusually pragmatic princess who uses her one wish only after she has tried to solve her family's problems through hard work. Angela Carter's &quot;The Courtship of Mr. Lyon&quot; is a &quot;Beauty and the Beast&quot; tale with a contemporary twist, in which Beauty leaves Beast to live the high life, becoming a society brat who &quot;smiled at herself in mirrors too much.&quot;  And in T.H. White's &quot;The Troll,&quot; we find out how his father killed the troll that tried to eat him.<br/><br/>In these enchanting pages we also see how modern writers have taken the classic fairy tale and adapted it to their times in a variety of ways. Francis Browne, for example, takes a poke at Victorian standards of beauty in &quot;The Story of Fairyfoot,&quot; about a young prince who is cast out of the kingdom of Stumpinghame because, unlike the fashion of the town, his feet are too small. Some writers, such as Ursula Le Guin, have taken familiar myths and turned them upside down. In Le Guin's &quot;The Wife's Story,&quot; a mother sees the horrible transformation of her husband into &quot;the hateful one&quot;, and then watches her sister and neighbors mob and kill this &quot;creature whose hair had begun to come away all over his body...the eyes gone blue...staring at me out of that flat, soft, white face.&quot; And L.F. Baum's &quot;The Queen of Quok,&quot; contains a castle and royal characters in a kingdom run by common sense and small-town American values.  At one point the boy king of Quok has to borrow a dime from his counsellor to buy a ham sandwich, and greed transforms his young queen-to-be into a haggard old woman.<br/><br/>With tales from the likes of Nathaniel Hawthorne, Oscar Wilde, Carl Sandburg, James Thurber, Donald Barthelme, Louise Erdrich, and many more, The Oxford Book of Modern Fairy Tales brings us through the modern-day world of the supernatural, the mystical, the moral, and reminds us that fairy tales are still very much alive.<br/><br/>Contents<br/>Uncle David's nonsensical story about giants and fairies (1839) by Catherine Sinclair<br/>Feathertop (1846) by Nathaniel Hawthorne<br/>The king of the Golden River (1850) by John Ruskin<br/>The story of Fairyfoot (1856) by Frances Browne<br/>The light princess (1864) by George MacDonald<br/>The magic fishbone (1868) by Charles Dickens<br/>A toy princess (1877) by Mary De Morgan<br/>The new mother (1882) by Lucy Lane Clifford<br/>Good luck is better than gold (1882) by Juliana Horatia Ewing<br/>The apple of contentment (1886) by Howard Pyle<br/>The griffin and the minor canon (1887) by Frank Stockton<br/>The selfish giant (1888) by Oscar Wilde<br/>The rooted lover (1894) by Laurence Housman<br/>The song of the morrow (1894) by Robert Louis Stevenson<br/>The reluctant dragon (1898) by Kenneth Grahame<br/>The book of beasts (1900) by E.

    <![CDATA[In 1666 in the Massachusetts Bay colony, Puritans and Algonquian have an uneasy truce. Hester arrives from England, seeking independence. Awaiting her husband, she establishes independence, fixing up a house, befriending Quakers and other outsiders. Passion draws her to a young pastor. He feels the same; when they learn her husband has probably died at the hands of Indians, they consummate their love. A child is born, and on the day Hester is publicly humiliated and made to wear a scarlet letter, her husband appears after a year with Indians. Calling himself Chillingworth, he seeks revenge, searching out Hester's lover and stirring fears of witchcraft. ]]>

    <![CDATA[The Portable Hawthorne includes writings from each major stage in the career of Nathaniel Hawthorne: a number of his most intriguing early tales, all of <em>The Scarlet Letter</em>, excerpts from his three subsequently published romances&#151;<em>The House of Seven Gables, The Blithedale Romance</em>, and <em>The Marble Faun&lt;/&gt;&#151;as well as passages from his European journals and a sampling of his last, unfinished works. The editor's introduction and head notes trace the evolution of Hawthorne's writing over the course of his long career: from the tales, to their apotheosis in <em>The Scarlet Letter</em>, through his popular romances, to his private journals and frustrated attempts at another romance. Readers looking for a critical vantage point from which to see Hawthorne whole&#151;his artistic rise, triumph, and sad decline&#151;can find it in this collection.</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[The Great Stone Face (The Old Man of the Mountains) juts out from the White Mountains of New Hampshire and looms over a small village. An old prophecy states that &quot;someone will be born hereabouts who will look just like the Great Stone Face, and he will be the noblest person of his time.&quot; Like many others, young Ernest watches the faces of returning famous men for signs of the gentle wisdom seen in the face. The rich merchant, however, is grasping, the soldier only stern, and the politician--well, a politician. Ernest, meanwhile, works hard on his farm and is looked up to by his neighbors for the thoughtful counsel he offers. As he grows old, people remark that they fear they will never see the prophecy fulfilled. At length, however, noticing Ernest's face, they discover that it was fulfilled long ago. This thoughtful look at what it means to live a good life is as relevant today as when first written. This collection also includes The Ambitious Guest, The Great Carbuncle, and Sketches from Memory. Newly designed and typeset in a modern 5.5-by-8.5-inch format by Waking Lion Press.]]>

  <description>
    <![CDATA[An invaluable contribution to the serious study of science fiction as well as a highly entertaining collection, Science Fiction contains 27 chronologically-arranged stories and excerpts, ranging from such early classic works as Swift's Gulliver's Travels and Shelley's Frankenstein to recent stories such as Harlan Ellison's &quot;I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream&quot; and Ursula K. Le Guin's &quot;Vaster Than Empires and More Slow.&quot;  Including brief general essays and a separate introduction to each individual story or excerpt, Rabkin's anthology greatly illuminates the evolution of the genre.]]>

    <![CDATA[When the medical mind takes off on a flight of fancy (or fantasy), watch out! The results, as these eighteen tales show, can be chillingly plausible or tantalizingly irrational. Represented in this anthology are a number of practicing physicians - including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (M.D.!) - as well as such well-known science fictioneers as Arthur C. Clarke, C.M. Kornbluth, and Murray Leinster, and such classical writers as Poe and Hawthorne. Some of the stories (&quot;The Man Without an Appetite&quot; and &quot;Family Resemblance&quot;) are lighthearted. Some (&quot;The Little Black Bag&quot; and &quot;A Matter of Ethics&quot;) are biting. Some (&quot;Rappacini's Daughter&quot; and &quot;The Brothers&quot;) are ghoulish. All are compelling, and all project a sometimes titillating, sometimes macabre, but always incisive view of the far-out worlds of medicine. The editors prescribe this collection for the fun of it: to relax tensions and expand the imagination. But if you come across some provacative, serious ideas, don't be startled - science fiction is full of such intriguing surprises.<br/><br/>Contents:<br/><br/>The Man Without an Appetite by Miles J. Breuer<br/>Out of the Cradle, Endlessly Orbiting by Arthur C. Clarke<br/>The Brothers by Clifton Dance, Jr.<br/>The Great Keinpatz Experiment by Arthur Conan Doyle<br/>Compound B by David Harold Fink<br/>Rappacini's Daughter by Nathaniel Hawthorne<br/>The Psychophonic Nurse by David H. Keller<br/>The Little Black Bag by C.M. Kornbluth<br/>Ribbon in the Sky by Murray Leinster<br/>Mate in Two Moves by Winston K. Marks<br/>Bedside Manner by William Morrison<br/>The Shopdropper by Alan Nelson<br/>Family Resemblance by Alan E. Nourse<br/>Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar by Edgar Allan Poe<br/>Emergency Operation by Arthuer Porges<br/>A Matter of Ethics by J.R. Shango<br/>Bolden's Pets by F.L. Wallace<br/>Expedition Mercy by J.A. Winter]]>

    <![CDATA[The Hawthorne Treasury is the most comprehensive selection, available in one volume, of the works of one of America's great storytellers. Beginning with Fanshawe (1828), a work published privately and anonymously, Nathaniel Hawthorne's fiction helped shape the course of American literature. Both Poe and Melville lavished praise on his next books, Twice-Told Tales and Mosses from an Old Manse, collections that helped establish the short story as an important American literary genre.<br/>        With the publication of The Scarlet Letter in 1850, Hawthorne's reputation was secure. Set in the harsh Puritan community of seventeenth-century Boston, this famous tale of an adulterous entanglement gave American literature its first heroine, Hester Prynne. <br/>D. H. Lawrence called The Scarlet Letter &quot;one of the greatest allegories in all literature.&quot; The House of the Seven Gables, a novel set in a mansion haunted by a centuries-old curse, followed a year later. Also included in this volume are The Blithedale Romance, the depiction of a utopian community that cannot survive the passions of its members; The Marble Faun, Hawthorne's last novel, inspired by his yearlong stay in Italy; and tales from The Snow-Image, his final collection of short stories. <br/>        Hawthorne's themes of alienation, guilt, and isolation ensure that he remains pertinent, and his writing is infused with a distinct sense of place. As Henry James wrote, &quot;He offers the most vivid reflection of New England life that has found its way into our literature.&quot; All of his virtues are abundantly demonstrated in this most substantial representation of his work.]]>

    <![CDATA[It is 1642 in the Puritan town of Boston. Hester Prynne has been found guilty of adultery and has born an illegitimate child. In lieu of being put to death, she is condemned to wear the scarlet letter A on her dress as a reminder of her shameful act. <br/>Hester's husband had been lost at sea years earlier and was presumed dead, but now reappears in time to witness Hester's humiliation on the town scaffold. Upon discovering her deed, the vengeful husband becomes obsessed with finding the identity of the man who dishonored his wife. To do so he assumes a false name, pretends to be a physician and forces Hester keep his new identity secret. Meanwhile Hester's lover, the beloved Reverend Dimmesdale, publicly pressures her to name the child's father, while secretly praying that she will not. Hester defiantly protects his identity and reputation, even while faced with losing her daughter, Pearl. <br/>Hailed by Henry James as, &quot;the finest piece of imaginative writing yet put forth in the country,&quot; Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter is a masterful portrayal of humanity's continuing struggle with sin, guilt and pride.]]>

    <![CDATA[What makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up? Is it something sinister-a secret sense warning you that something is wrong, that someone, some thing you can't see, is in the room with you? Is it real? Should you run? Fight? Scream? Find the answers within the musty, dark recesses of these stories.  Through the haunted imaginations of Edgar Allan Poe, Jack London, Ambrose Bierce, and nine other great authors, we are transported to places our own imaginations hesitate to take us, and we bear witness to unthinkable events.  These stories endure, not merely because of what they are about, but how they are told-and when told by master storytellers, these startling tales send chills up and down our spines.  Open the book, if you dare, and enter another world-you'll find that it's worth the risk.  This Prestwick House Literary Touchstone Classic includes a glossary and notes to help the modern reader appreciate details that may  otherwise be confusing or overlooked.]]>

    <![CDATA[When the scientific and the rational worlds become oppressive, a reaction usually takes places, and in the eighteenth century one such reaction was the Gothic novel. The supernatural, romantic fantasy, mystery and terror crept into fiction in the age of Enlightenment, and this Gothic underground has prevailed to our own day. In this collection, which includes Horace Walpole's the Castle of Otranto, tales by Clara Reeve, Mary Shelley (author of Frankenstein) and &quot;Monk&quot; Lewis, Edgar Allan Poe's The Fall of The House of Usher, The White Old Maid by Nathaniel Hawthorne and Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla, some of the masterpieces of this pervasive twilight fiction are found.]]>
