Hawthorne Melville and the American Character: A Looking-Glass Business - Cambridge Studies in American Literature and Culture
John McWilliams
This book considers the portrayal of the American national character in the writings of Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melville. It examines Hawthorne's abiding concern with the development of New England from colony to province to republic, and analyses Melville's changing evocation of 'the new American', and the difficulties he faced in sustaining his heady nationalistic faith.
