He encounters both the beauty and the ugliness of Europe, and learns not to take either for granted. The core of the novel...

Hawthorne
ISBN: 9781515099178 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is the only book-length study James wrote about a fellow novelist, and it's not surprising he picked Hawthorne for such extended treatment. The tradition Hawthorne began in American literature - the morally intense exploration of the universality of guilt and the ambiguities of human choice - was clearly carried on by James. Although James expressed misgivings about some of Hawthorne's more extravagant symbolism and heavy reliance on allegory, he shared his predecessor's constant interest in moral quandaries, divided loyalties, and the inevitable conflicts between imaginative...
