Review
"Fluent and colorful." -- John Updike, New Yorker
"In his exceptional biography of Nathaniel Hawthorne, James R. Mellow superbly blends biography and history to reflect the general milieu in the life of a particular individual. One grows to understand Hawthorne not only as a writer but also as a politician, traveller and family man in 19th-century America." -- Dallas Morning News
"Impressive... Mellow's primary obligation, to fill in the days and years of the life of America's first important novelist, he fulfills religiously... He frequently bridges the gap between Hawthorne's 'external' and 'inward' life by means of his fictions, finding in them evidence of Hawthorne's mental or emotional state. These interpretations are always fresh, sometimes daring." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer
"A fascinating revelation of nineteenth-century literary life." -- Historian
