"Young comes to Hawthorne soaked in his work, in the history of Hawthorne's New England past. Not one to grub fiction for biographical scandal, and utterly unable to psychobabble, Young has been brought to see THE SCARLET LETTER, and crucial short stories, for the layered mysteries they are. His evidence, always from Hawthorne's texts, from the friendship he withdrew from Melville, or from ancient family records, survives scrutiny. It breaks the heart, too, but Hawthorne is not dimished by Young's scrupulous and elegant disclosures. " Index. 0879235152 $12.00USD
