Review
“The chief originality of [The Productive Tension of Hawthorne’s Art] lies in its discussion of perfectionism; but its analyses are in general intelligent, moderate, and useful.”
—Library Journal
“On the whole, Claudia D. Johnson’s The Productive Tension of Hawthorne’s Art is a thoughtful new treatment of an old but fundamental subject developed in a lucid economical style. . . . . an uncommonly valuable book in a field that in recent years has been marked by distinguished contributions.”
—South Atlantic Review
"Well-focused, incisive, and exciting."
—Richard Harter Fogle, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
"A solid, . . . well-written contribution to Hawthorne criticism . . . The author is thoroughly in control of what has been written about Hawthorne and skillfully places her own work in the context of this scholarship and criticism. So far as I know, she is the first critic to consider the probable influence of the 'perfectionists' on Hawthorne's art. She also enriches our understanding of the organic and the mechanical and offers perceptive readings of the major works."
—Roy R. Male, University of Oklahoma
