From the radical dualism of Hawthorne's vision, Samuel Coale argues, springs a continuing tradition in the American novel. In Hawthorne's Shadow is the first critical study to describe precisely the formal shape of Hawthorne's psychological romance and to explore his themes and images in relation to such contemporary writers as John Cheever, Norman MailerAmerican fictionHistory and criticismRomanticismUnited StatesManichaeism in literatureAmerican fictionHistory and criticism.RomanticismManichaeism in literature.813/.009/145Coale Samuel700462MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820641103321In hawthorne's shadow1368900UNINA
