T1 Hawthorne's Opera Prima: The Permanence of Themes in Fiction
A1 Ojeda Alba, Julieta
AB Nathaniel Hawthorne’s first novel Fanshawe, partially due to its author’sdeliberate and quite successful efforts to suppress it, has neverattracted the attention it deserves. The critics who have heeded it havemostly focused their discussions on its derivative characteristics. Also,Robert E. Gross detected and called attention to the timid presence of thegreat Hawthornean themes which he thought had survived until the endof his career. This brief paper attempts to analyse some other very essentialfeatures in Fanshawe that Gross neglected. Not only are Hawthorne’straditional themes and his distinct style perceptible in Fanshawe, butalso his personal likes and dislikes, his obsessions, his dreams and preoccupations.These and many other idiosyncrasies of Hawthorne permeateFanshawe and were an essential part of his later literature.
