Media Reviews
"In most of the New England writers, passion was not only censored but expunged from the heart. It is only the surface that is censored in Hawthorne, and it is chiefly the surface that has aged; his central problem hasn't aged at all. He wrote about the isolated individual trying to regain a place in society, and after a hundred years the individual is still isolated and our serious novelists are still dealing with loneliness and alienation. He wrote about the inner world, and that is the theme our novels have continued to express, if seldom in Hawthorne's bold symbols or with his sense of artistic rightness."
