| Description: |
"The Broadview edition of The Blithedale Romance is an exceptional scholarly achievement." -- Eric J. Sundquist, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of the Humanities, Johns Hopkins University |
| Synopsis: |
Inspired by Nathaniel Hawthorne's own experience as a member of the famous Brook Farm Community, which the author describes in his preface as the "most romantic episode" in his life, The Blithedale Romance is one of the most engaging and complex of Hawthorne's novels. Recounting the hopeful formation and slow fragmentation of a reform-minded socialist community in antebellum Massachusetts, the novel has increasingly preoccupied commentators on American literature and culture over the last few decades. The editors' new introduction helps the reader to negotiate Blithedale's literary difficulties by offering a detailed reflection on the main problems confronted by past and present interpreters of the novel. Appendices expand upon the novel's key historical themes: women's emancipation, slavery, and religious reform. |
