Fantastic Comprehensive Of Hawthorne's WorksBy Drew TI am currently in the process of writing a paper on Hawthorne and of the 30 sources I've looked at thus far, this is by far the best. It's a solid reference of Hawthorne's works. Wagenknecht does a wonderful job of putting down the facts and incorporating the opinions and reviews of other Hawthorne scholars. The book remains neutral throughout, which I enjoyed. In writing a paper, it's best to be given the facts with some slight interpretation and then formulate your own views. This book spawns creative thoughts. It's definitely recommended to anyone looking for a comprehensive guide! Additionally, in my research I found a lot of the books on Hawthorne to be quite old. This one if more fresh and contemporary as it was written in 1989. We know more about the dark places in the heart of man today than we did in his time, but nothing we have learned seems to make Hawthorne a less important writer now than he was then.Beginning with a succinct biography of the renowned American writer of the nineteenth century, this book goes on to consider, in successive chapters, all of Hawthorne's tales, romances, and uncompleted experimental writings.

Looking at the work of, amongst others, Charles Brockden Brown, Robert Montgomery Bird, Ralph Waldo Emerson and John Greenleaf Whittier, it demonstrates that both the stereotyped depiction of Quakers and the use of Quaker ideas, such as the inward light in literature of the period, helped writers tackle some of the paradoxes of democracy in a young nation. The perceived mystery of Quaker individualism is used in these texts first to dramatise anxiety over the formation ofAmerican 'character' as either fundamentally unique and unknowable or representative of the whole nation, and secondly for more constructive ends in order to create a language able to express unity in diversity.

Crowder: Poe’s Criticism of Women Writers POE’S CRITICISM OF WOMEN WRITERS ASHBY BLAND CROWDER HENDRIX COLLEGE Striving for disinterestedness, Edgar Allan Poe endeavored to base his criticism squarely upon principles. As a magazinist, he favored the short story and the lyric poem over the novel and over the lengthy poems that were prevalent in his day. Furthermore, he demanded that a work of art not be didactic, that it achieve a unity of effect, that its imagery and meter be appropriate and its grammar acceptable. Vincent Buranelli believes that Poe adhered to an additional critical principle: “being gallant with the ladies” whose works he reviewed.1 Edward Wagenknecht maintains that Poe “made it a rule to avoid harsh criticism of women’s work....”2 Robert D. Jacobs remarks that Poe “employed different standards in reviewing the works of women.”3 Richard Cary asserts that Poe “often ignored his self-ordained rules and bestowed unwarranted praise” when review­ ing “volumes written by contemporary, sentimental poetesses...

Ballew: Irving and Ticknor in Spain: Some Parallels and Contrasts IRVING AND TICKNOR IN SPAIN: SOME PARALLELS AND CONTRASTS by Hal L. Ballew Washington Irving’s position in American literature might be called, for want of a better term, inconsistent. The first American to gain a wide and enthusiastic audience abroad, he is paid the conventional honor of being “the father of American literature.” Yet Irving, as a recent biographer says, ranks below any other American writer who enjoys “a comparable fame.”1 Thus, despite the fact that he converted the Hudson River country and the Cat­ skills into legends that seem to exude a vapor as timeless as the pyramids, it may be conceded that some of Irving’s works never had any appeal for Americans; that others, such as his biographies of George Washington and Oliver Goldsmith, were scarcely sus­ tained for some years by the magic of his reputation; that others, such as his Life and Voyages of Columbus, fell into a critical vacuum when they were proved by more thorough studies to in­ clude a considerable amount of romantic fancy along with the facts.

Conclusion....................... 223 Works Cited .... ....................... 2,37 li PREPAGE For almost eighty years literary critics and reviewers have disputed the quality, the meaning-, and the worth of the novels of William Dean Howells. During that time they have reached a general accord on only one point: that he had a clear, supple prose style. Whether or not the critics have approved of Howells, they have been compelled to deal with him, not only because of the massiveness of his work (and his eminence as an editor and a critic), but also be­ cause of its importance as an expression of realism. Their numerous and varied comments indicate several distinctive attitudes which seem to me to account in some measure for the conflicting evaluations. I have sought to distinguish and identify those attitudes through.studying the American criticism published in books and in magazines of respectable literary standing. I have felt that these sources promised serious, well-considered opinions that would represent most adequately the major trends of critical thought.

Poe himself, however, is often still misunderstood because, immediately after his death, his character was deliberately assassinated, totally and thoroughly maligned by his "official" biographer; those lies were subsequently repeated (year after year, book after book) by others unaware of their fallaciousness until the real Poe was almost lost to us. In this book (originally published in 1963), noted literary critic and biographer Edward Wagenknecht attempts to correct those errors to give us a more truthful version of Poe's life. Since any accurate, truth- seeking book about Poe deserves to be read, you will undoubtedly want to consider this one (especially given the prestige of its author).There are two major problems with this book. The first is EW's somewhat affected style of writing. He presents his information in a formal and at times confusing manner that often leaves us pondering what it is we've just finished reading.
