What is Student Companion to Nathaniel Hawthorne (Student Companions to Classic Writers) about?

<p>Unlike the current works of literary criticism available on Nathaniel Hawthorne, which are written for specialists and more sophisticated readers, this critical introduction is designed to meet the needs of high school students and general readers for accessible yet challenging literary criticism. It features a biographical chapter that relates his life to his work, a chapter on his career and contributions to American literature, and chapters that analyze his most important short stories and novels in turn. Examined are his best known and most frequently anthologized tales, and the romances <i>The Scarlet Letter</i>, <i>The House of the Seven Gables</i>, <i>The Blithedale Romance</i>, and <i>The Marble Faun</i>. Each of the novels is discussed in a separate chapter. Of additional value in the volume is a complete bibliography of Hawthorne's work, selected bibliography of critical and biographical sources, and lists of reviews of each novel and the stories, both from the time the literature was originally published and from contemporary sources.</p> <p>The biographical chapter provides an overview of Hawthorne's life, including his years in Salem and Concord, Massachusetts.
