Abstract

This section provides an overview of the published works on American literature up to the 1900. American Literary Scholarship: An Annual, 2000, a narrative bibliography under the editorship of David J. Nordloh, casts its informed and attentive eye over the year's critical and scholarly writings. All students and scholars of American literature will find something of interest and value in Martha Nell Smith's Computing: What's American Literary Study Got To Do With IT? She considers the enormous implications that developments in computer technology, IT, and digital imaging have for scholarship and study. Three volumes have appeared in the Facts on File Library of American Literature that will be useful additions to library holdings. The Encyclopedia of American Literature is divided into The Colonial and Revolutionary Era, 1607-1814, edited by Carol Berkin, The Age of Romanticism and Realism, 1815-1914, edited by Lisa Paddock, and The Modern and Postmodern Period From 1915, edited by Carl Rollyson.

115. 'All that associates, saves' : Hawthorne biography and twentieth-century American cultural criticism

Subjects
813, P Language and Literature
Abstract

This study gives an account of the roles that biographies of Nathaniel Hawthorne, a nineteenth-century American writer, have come to play within the twentieth-century discourses concerned with American literature as a national literature and as a field of academic inquiry. While attempting to outline the general development of Hawthorne biography in this context, it concentrates mainly on three Hawthorne biographies and on the historical, intellectual and political contexts within which they were produced: Newton Arvin's Hawthorne, published in 1929, Randall Stewart's Nathaniel Hawthorne: A Biography (1948), and Walter Herbert's Dearest Beloved: The Hawthornes and the Making of the Middle-class Family (1993). Each of these lives has been a benchmark in Hawthorne biography; they have introduced new theories and methods and have been embraced by some contemporary critics but contested by others. The first chapter of this thesis outlines debates about biographical practice in a specifically American context. Chapter 2 reads the Hawthorne biographies of the 1920s in the context of Van Wyck Brooks's call to 'create a usable past'. Chapter 3 examines the Hawthorne biographies of the late 1940s, paying particular attention to the ways in which politically conservative or liberal values are inscribed in them and situating them in relation to the attitudes towards biography on the part of practitioners of the New Criticism on one hand and of historical scholarship on the other. Chapter 4 explores new developments in Hawthorne biography since the early 1980s and specifically analyses Herbert's 'new historicist' study of the nuclear Hawthorne family in the light of David Reynolds's notion of 'cultural biography'. The thesis ends with a conclusion which considers the forms in which Hawthorne biography might continue in the twenty-first century.
