T. Walter Herbert

T. Walter Herbert juxtaposes Hawthorne's marriage and his literature, showing how they shaped each other and how they reflect changes in 19th-century America. Taking largely from journal's of both Nathaniel and Sophia Hawthorne. Splitting the book into four parts specific events in the couple's history, showing how these were drawn upon in Hawthorne's work. This is a good read for those interested in American authors and American literature.
