{"product_id":"the-portable-hawthorne-9780143039280","title":"The Portable Hawthorne","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe Portable Hawthorne\u003c\/b\u003e includes writings from each major stage in the career of Nathaniel Hawthorne: a number of his most intriguing early tales, all of The Scarlet Letter, excerpts from his three subsequently published romances--\u003cb\u003eThe House of Seven Gables\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eThe Blithedale Romance\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003eThe Marble Faun\u003c\/b\u003e--as well as passages from his European journals and a sampling of his last, unfinished works. The editor's introduction and head notes trace the evolution of Hawthorne's writing over the course of his long career: from the tales, to their apotheosis in \u003cb\u003eThe Scarlet Letter\u003c\/b\u003e, through his popular romances, to his private journals and frustrated attempts at another romance. Readers looking for a critical vantage point from which to see Hawthorne whole--his artistic rise, triumph, and sad decline--can find it in this collection.\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143039280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2006 pg. 134\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nathaniel Hawthorne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44736554107061,"sku":"9780143039280","price":18.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_c9d4733d-28ac-4308-98cc-e248e4dab5c3.jpg?v=1729609605","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-portable-hawthorne-9780143039280","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
