Hawthorne's Imagery

Více o knize

This book, designed as a companion volume, concentrates on Hawthorne's use of imagery, specifically sun imagery, with its contrasting images of moonlight, artificial light, shadow, and blackness, to unify his narratives and illuminate his characters. In tracing Hawthorne's imagic pattern through his major fiction works and critical pieces, Professor Fogle amply reinforces his critical judgment that Hawthorne was not only an artist but also a careful, conscious craftsman.
