(1988), Engage In A Dialogue With Hawthorne'S Novel, Commenting Upon And Altering The Original Story. To Understand The Nature Of This Dialogue, Schiff Employs A Methodolgy Specifically Suited To Updike'S Mythical Method, In Which Special Attention Is Given To Reader Expectation, Parody, Point Of View, And Principles Of Fragmentation And Condensation.Updike'S Version Covers New Ground In Updike'S Studies, Revealing How The Intertextual Dialogue Between Updike And Hawthorne Is Far More Complex And Extensive Than Has Yet Been Acknowledged.
