NEW ESSAYS ON THE SHORT STORIES OF NATHANIEL HA...

Nathaniel Hawthorne's status as an artist rests as much on The Scarlet Letter as on his short
fictions. It is both telling and appropriate that academic research in the short story should
be dated to Mary Rohrberger's study Hawthorne and the Modern Short Story  published in 1966.
The present volume adds to this discourse with contributions by Paulina Ambrozy  Katarzyna
Kuczma  Joseph Kuhn  David Malcolm  Marek Paryz  Janusz Semrau  Pawel Stachura  and Marek
Wilczynski. Represented here are some of the most widely-known stories  such as «My Kinsman 
Major Molineux»  «Wakefield»  «Roger Malvin's Burial»  «Ethan Brand»  «The Great Stone Face» 
and some of the less widely-known ones  such as «Legends of the Province-House»  «The Haunted
Mind»  «The Threefold Destiny»  «Foot-prints on the Sea-shore». The individual essays discuss
Hawthorne's texts in quasi-generic terms  through some persistent American themes and motifs 
as well as for their aesthetic  philosophical  and existential meanings. The readings draw
ideological and theoretical support from the thought of Emerson  Hegel  Trilling  de Certeau 
Freud  Heidegger  Lacan  and Derrida.
