Produktbeschreibung

In Sophia Peabody Hawthorne: A Life, Patricia Dunlavy Valenti presents Nathaniel Hawthorne's spouse on her own terms, situating her remarkable life within its own historical, philosophical, and cultural context, and freeing her from notions that Nathaniel constructed and that his biographers perpetuated. The first of this two-volume work recounts Sophia's accomplishments as one of America's first professional women artists, a transcendentalist thinker, and a prolific travel writer. The second volume explores Sophia's abandonment of her artistic career-at Nathaniel's urging-to adopt the roles of wife and mother, widow and impoverished guardian of her husband's legacy, and, finally, expatriate.
