Description

This Norton Critical Edition of The Blithedale Romance presents Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel in an authoritative text, accompanied by explanatory annotations to facilitate understanding of its historical and literary references. The edition draws on the Centenary Edition of Hawthorne's Works, widely regarded as the best available.

The accompanying "Contexts" section provides a rich and varied selection of materials, including letters, journals, and published accounts, which offer insight into Hawthorne's inspirations for the novel and its exploration of themes such as women's roles, mesmerism, and urbanization in mid-19th-century America.

The edition also includes "Criticism", featuring major contemporary reviews, as well as "Selections from Classic Studies" and "Recent Criticism", which collect scholarly interpretation by prominent scholars. A Chronology and a Selected Bibliography are also included to provide further context and resources for readers.
