The Poet as Patriarch -- Epilogue -- Acknowledgments -- Notes -- Works Cited -- IndexThe marriage of Nathaniel and Sophia Hawthorne-for their contemporaries a model of true love and married happiness-was also a scene of revulsion and combat. T. Walter Herbert reveals the tragic conflicts beneath the Hawthorne's ideal of domestic fulfillment and shows how their marriage reflected the tensions within nineteenth-century society. In so doing, he sheds new light on Hawthorne's fiction, with its obsessive themes of guilt and grief, balked feminism and homosexual seduction, adultery, patricide, and incest.New historicism ;24.Domestic fiction, AmericanHistory and criticismNovelists, American19th centuryBiographyAuthors' spousesUnited StatesBiographyPsychoanalysis and literatureMiddle class in literatureMarriage in literatureFamily in literatureDomestic fiction, AmericanHistory and criticism.Novelists, AmericanAuthors' spousesPsychoanalysis and literature.Middle class in literature.Marriage in literature.Family in literature.813/.3BHerbert T.
