Пра гэту электронную кнігу
Nathaniel Hawthorne's 'Poetical Works' is a lesser-known yet significant corpus of the acclaimed American novelist's oeuvre. While Hawthorne is chiefly celebrated for his novels and short stories that delve into the Puritanical ethos of his New England milieu, his poems carry the same darkly romantic pen-strokes rich in allegory and psychological depth. These poems, many shaded with Hawthornian themes of inherent evil, sin, and moral consternation, challenge the reader to decipher their labyrinthine morality. Literary style seamlessly meshes with the romantic movement's characteristics, while the somber elegance of his verse finds its place among the broader context of Dark romanticism. The compilation not only showcases Hawthorne's poetic endeavors but also includes works dedicated to him by contemporary poetic luminaries that offer an intimate look at his influence and legacy. Hawthorne's personal history and his professional milieu deeply influenced his poetic creation. His Puritan ancestry, his life in Salem, and the profound contemplation of the human condition define his eclectic body of work. This collection uncovers an intricate intersection between the poet's life experiences and his creative expressions within the bounds of verse. The biographical introduction serves to contextualize the poetry, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the man behind the words, painting a picture of an artist grappling with the moral dilemmas of his time. For connoisseurs of American literature and enthusiasts of the Romantic era, 'Poetical Works' by Nathaniel Hawthorne is an indispensable addition to their collections. This anthology not only broadens the understanding of Hawthorne's literary scope beyond the expected prose narratives but also provides a fresh perspective on the dark romantic elements prevailing in 19th-century American literature. It is an invitation to explore the multifaceted dimensions of a canonical author whose work continually resonates with timeless human conflicts, now eloquently distilled in poetic form.
Звесткі пра аўтара
Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804–1864) was a quintessential American novelist and short story writer during the 19th century and a master of the Dark Romanticism genre. Although more widely known for his novels 'The Scarlet Letter' (1850) and 'The House of the Seven Gables' (1851), his 'Poetical Works' also contribute to his literary acclaim. Hawthorne's writing is characterized by its exploration of themes such as guilt, sin, and the complexity of human morality. His narrative style often delved into the psychological and moral depths of his characters, set frequently against a dark, puritanical New England background. His poetry, while perhaps less celebrated than his prose, nevertheless offers insights into his artistic depth and his preoccupation with the same themes that pervade his stories and novels. Hawthorne's work was deeply influenced by the history and Puritan legacy of his native New England, and his heritage can be tracked to Judge John Hathorne, his ancestor, and a presiding magistrate in the Salem witch trials, which Hawthorne added the 'w' to his surname in efforts to distance himself from. This ancestral connection is often considered a driving force behind his contemplation of the moral and societal norms of his time. A member of the Brook Farm community and a friend to transcendentalists like Emerson and Thoreau, Hawthorne's complex relationship with the philosophies of his day adds another layer to the interpretation of his works. His literary significance continues to be recognized well beyond his passing, as his stories and characters remain integral components of American literature studies.
