CREATIVITY: CONDITIONS OF THE MIND 40 IV. HAWTHORNE ON THE NATURE OF ART AND ARTISTS 67 V. CONCLUSION 91 BIBLIOGRAPHY 99 iii CHAPTER I HAWTHORNE'S DEVELOPMENT AS A WRITER Early in his life Nathaniel Hawthorne decided that he would become a writer. In a letter to his mother when he was seventeen years old, he weighed the possibilities of entering other professions against his inclinations and concluded by asking her what she thought of his becoming a writer. He demonstrated an awareness of some of the disappointments a writer must face by stating that authors are always "poor devils." This realistic attitude was to help him endure the obscurity and lack of reward during the early years of his career. As in many of his letters, he concluded this letter to his mother with a literary reference to describe how he felt about making a decision that would determine how he was to spend his life.1 It was an important decision for him to make, but consciously or unintentionally, he had been pre- paring for such a decision for several years. The build-up to his writing was reading. Although there were no writers on either side of Hawthorne's family, there was a strong appreciation for literature.

Near the end of an undistinguished period of professional training that began in 1869 and dragged on until 1874, Hawthorne wrote a misanthropic tome entitled Saxon Studies.1 First published seri- ally in the Contemporary Review, the book weighed in at 452 pages when it appeared in 1876. It may well have contributed to Hawthorne’s Brit- ish and American publishers going bankrupt a few weeks later: the only copies that exist today are those sent out for review purposes. Hawthorne claimed that he set out to write an objective, candid appraisal of Saxon society. But if this was a ‘warts and all’ study, the face of Saxony quickly turned into caricature. Soon one saw nothing but warts. Saxon Studies fits into no literary or scholarly genre: it is part autobiography, part travelogue, part social anthropology avant la lettre, and part Heimat romance (stood on its head).

GEORGE PARSONS LATHROP —> ROSE HAWTHORNE “NARRATIVE HISTORY” AMOUNTS TO FABULATION, THE REAL STUFF BEING MERE CHRONOLOGY “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project Rose Hawthorne HDT WHAT? INDEX ROSE HAWTHORNE MOTHER MARY ALPHONSA 1851 May 20, Tuesday: At the “little Red House” in Lenox, Massachusetts, Rose Hawthorne was born to Nathaniel Hawthorne and Sophia Peabody Hawthorne. At least subsequent to this period, it seems likely that Nathaniel and Sophia no longer had sexual intercourse, as Nathaniel has been characterized by one of his contemporaries as deficient “in the power or the will to show his love. He is the most undemonstrative person I ever knew, without any exception. It is quite impossible for me to imagine his bestowing the slightest caress upon Mrs. Hawthorne.” Sophia once commented about her husband that he “hates to be touched more than anyone I ever knew.” Presumably the Hawthornes gave up sexual intercourse for purposes of contraception, or perhaps because they found solitary or mutual masturbation to be more congenial, or perhaps, in Nathaniel’s case, because he preferred to have sex with prostitutes, a social practice of the times which Hawthorne referred to as “his illegitimate embraces,” rather than go to the trouble of arranging “blissful interviews” with his wife.1 Hawthorne was bothered by the presence of children, and after the birth of Rose would speak bitterly of the parent’s “duty to sacrifice all the green margin of our lives to these children” towards which he never felt the slightest “natural partiality”: [T]hey have to prove their claim to all the affection they get; and I believe I could love other people’s children better than mine, if I felt they deserved it more.

    Louisa May Alcott 1 Louisa May Alcott Louisa Alcott Louisa May Alcott at about age 25 Born November 29, 1832 Germantown, Pennsylvania, United States Died March 6, 1888 (aged 55) Boston, Massachusetts, United States Pen name A. M. Barnard Occupation Novelist Nationality American Period Civil War Genres Prose, Poetry Subjects Young Adult stories Notable work(s) Little Women Signature Louisa May Alcott (November 29, 1832 – March 6, 1888) was an American novelist best known as author of the novel Little Women and its sequels Little Men and Jo's Boys. Raised by her transcendentalist parents, Abigail May and Amos Bronson Alcott in New England, she grew up among many of the well-known intellectuals of the day such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry David Thoreau. Nevertheless, her family suffered severe financial difficulties and Alcott worked to help support the family from an early age. She began to receive critical success for her writing in the 1860s. Early in her career, she sometimes used the pen name A. M. Barnard. Published in 1868, Little Women is set in the Alcott family home, Orchard House, in Concord, Massachusetts and is loosely based on Alcott's childhood experiences with her three sisters. The novel was very well received and is still a popular children's novel today. Alcott was an abolitionist and a feminist. She died in Boston. Childhood and early work Alcott was born on November 29, 1832, in Germantown, which is now part of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on her father's 33rd birthday. She was the daughter of transcendentalist and educator Amos Bronson Alcott and social worker Abby May and the second of four daughters: Anna Bronson Alcott was the eldest; Elizabeth Sewall Alcott and Abigail May Alcott were the two youngest.

  • •Œrappaccini's Daughterâ•Š
    "Rappaccini's Daughter" - Sources and Names BURTON R. POLLIN RAPPACCINI'S DAUGHTER has always been viewed as one of Hawthorne's strangest and most provocative tales. I should like to consider a few of the possible sources which serve chiefly to under- score the theme of the transformation or re-creation of human life, these being Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Godwin's St. Leon, and Milton's Paradise Lost. Related to the supernatural motif of the story is the meaning in Italian of the names of four major characters. That Hawthorne could not have failed to know Frankenstein has been assumed by R. P. Adams for "The Birthmark." 1Mary Shelley's first work was a celebrated, perhaps even notorious, novel during the period of Hawthorne's early development, and it continued to be popular throughout the century. There were to be at least nine reprints in English of this work of 1818, two of them published in the United States.2 The third edition of 1831, with a long new pre- face by the author, constituted the ninth of the popular "Standard Novels" of Colburne and Bentley.3 Hawthorne probably saw the 1833 Philadelphia reprint by the well-known firm of Carey and Lea, to which he had addressed a request in 1832 concerning an article for the Souvenir, one of its publications.4 Frankenstein is a distinguished specimen of the Gothic tale, a genre which was promi- nent in Hawthorne's reading.5 It has left its traces in The Scarlet 1 R.

INDEX JULIAN HAWTHORNE JULIAN HAWTHORNE 1846 June 22, Monday: In Salem, Massachusetts, Sophia Peabody Hawthorne gave birth to a 2d child, Julian Hawthorne. Initially this apparently unwanted or resented child would not be named: for at least the first eight months his mother and father would refer to him merely as “bundlebreech” (on a following screen is Nathaniel Hawthorne, as depicted in this year in crayon and chalk on paper by Eastman Johnson). Benjamin Robert Haydon, would-be redeemer of British art, creator of grand agendas, his magnum opus “The Anti-Slavery Convention” finally completed in a world which greeted it with a grand “ho-hum,” at the age of 61 wrote “Stretch me no longer on this rough world” and made in the journal he had been keeping for 38 years a blood-smeared entry: My soul aspires My spirit is wounded My hand fumbles My heart races My brain aches to burst My hand drops the impasto-laden brush HDT WHAT?

  • Discord in Concord
    National Politics and Literary Neighbors DISCORD IN CONCORD Claudia Durst Johnson In addition to works mentioned herein, the influence of Hawthorne on Louisa May Alcott is discernible in the following collections of her work: Louisa May Alcott: Selected Fiction, ed. Daniel Shealy, Madeleine B. Stern, and Joel Myerson (Boston: Little, Brown, 1990); Freaks ofGenius: Unknown Thrillers of Louisa May Alcott, ed. Daniel Shealy (Westport, Conn.: Greenwood, 1991); and Alternative Alcott, ed. Elaine Showalter (New Brunswick: Rutgers UP, 1988). n the ~iny New England village of Concord, Massachusetts, at .the height of the I American Civil War, two of the century's fiction writers, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Louisa May Alcott, with their strong-minded artistic families, lived side-by­ side. In these few years Hawthorne's powers and reputation dwindled and Alcott's star rose. In one of the most turbulent of political and philosophical times, the families, deeply implicated in so many major national issues, attempted to come to terms with their contradictory politics and clashing t~mperaments during personal and national trial. Despite the unfortunate discord that surfaced between th~ Haw­ thornes and Alcotts, Louisa May Alcott would find in Hawthorne's work instructive treatments and themes compatible with her own interests and would eventually discover in The Scarlet Letter a means of coping fictionally with her often dysfunc­ tional family. In many ways, no two souls could be more antithetical, particularly touching the stormy politics of race and gender, than Nathaniel Hawthorne and Louisa May Alcott. In marked contrast to Hawthorne, Louisa Alcott ~as a devoted abolitionist, a feminist, and, like her father and mother, an admirer ofJohn Brown.
