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. 410 0$aNew historicism ;$v24. 606 $aDomestic fiction, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNovelists, American$y19th century$vBiography 606 $aAuthors' spouses$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aPsychoanalysis and literature 606 $aMiddle class in literature 606 $aMarriage in literature 606 $aFamily in literature 615 0$aDomestic fiction, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNovelists, American 615 0$aAuthors' spouses 615 0$aPsychoanalysis and literature. 615 0$aMiddle class in literature. 615 0$aMarriage in literature. 615 0$aFamily in literature. 676 $a813/.3 676 $aB 700 $aHerbert$b T.
