Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Sophia Peabody Hawthorne Is Known Almost Exclusively In Her Role As The Wife Of Nathaniel Hawthorne, Who Portrayed Her As The Fragile, Ethereal, Infirm Dove. That Image, Invented By Nathaniel To Serve His Needs And Affirm His Manhood, Was Passed On By His Biographers, Who Accepted Their Subjects Perception Without Question. In Fact, The Real Sophia Was Very Different From Nathaniels Construction Of Her.An Independent, Sensuous, Daring Woman, Sophia Was An Accomplished Artist Before Her Marriage To Nathaniel. Moreover, What She Brought To Their Union Inspired Nathaniels Imagination Beyond The Limits Of His Previously Confined Existence. In Sophia Peabody Hawthorne, Patricia Dunlavy Valenti Situates The Story Of Sophias Life Within Its Own Historical, Philosophical, And Cultural Background, As Well As Within The Context Of Her Marriage. Valenti Begins With Parallel Biographies That Present Sophia, And Then Nathaniel, At Comparable Periods In Their Lives.Sophia Was Born Into An Expansive, Somewhat Chaotic Home In Which Women Provided Financial As Well As Emotional Sustenance. She Was A Precocious, Eager Student Whose Rigorous Education, In Her Mothers And Her Sisters Schools, Began Her Association With The Children Of New Englands Elite. Sophia Aspired To Become A Professional, Selfsupporting Painter, Exhibiting Her Art And Seeking Criticism From Established Mentors. She Relished An Eighteenmonth Sojourn In Cuba. Nathaniels Reclusive Family, His Reluctant Early Education, His Anonymous Pursuit Of A Career, And His Relatively Circumscribed Life Contrast Markedly With The Experience Of The Woman Who Became His Wife And The Mother Of His Children. Those Differences Resulted In A Creative Abrasion That Ignited His Fiction During The First Years Of Their Marriage.Volume 1 Of This Biography Concludes With Sophias Negotiation Of The Hawthornes Departure From The Old Manse And The Birth Of Their Second Child. This Period Also Coincides With The Conclusion Of Nathaniels Major Phase Of Short Story Writing.Sophia Peabody Hawthorne Is An Engrossing Story Of A Nineteenthcentury American Life. It Analyzes Influences Upon Authorship And Questions The Boundaries Of Intellectual Property In The Domestic Sphere. The Book Also Offers Fresh Interpretations Of Nathaniel Hawthornes Fiction, Examining It Through The Lens Of Sophias Vibrant Personality And Diverse Interests. Students And Scholars Of American Literature, Literary Theory, Feminism, And Cultural History Will Find Much To Enrich Their Understanding Of This Woman And This Era.
