American Women’s Regionalist Fiction: Mapping the Gothic seeks to redress the monolithic vision of American Gothic by analyzing the various sectional or regional attempts to Gothicize what is most claustrophobic or peculiar about local history. Since women writers were often relegated to inferior status, it is especially compelling to look at women from the Gothic perspective. The regionalist Gothic develops along the line of difference and not unity—thus emphasizing regional peculiarities or a sense of superiority in terms of regional history, natural landscapes, immigrant customs, folk tales, or idiosyncratic ways. The essays study the uncanny or the haunting quality of “the commonplace,” as Hawthorne would have it in his introduction to The House of the Seven Gables, in regionalist Gothic fiction by a wide range of women writers between ca. 1850 and 1930. This collection seeks to examine how/if the regionalist perspective is small, limited, and stultifying and leads to Gothic moments, or whether the intersection between local and national leads to a clash that is jarring and Gothic in nature.

These four landmark novels of nineteenth-century American literature have gained a permanent place in our culture as great classics. They are not only part of our national heritage, but masterpieces of world literature whose deep and lasting influence is felt to this day. The Scarlet Letter vividly records America’s moral and historical roots in Puritan New England and masterfully re-creates a society’s preoccupation with sin, guilt, and pride. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn carries readers along on Huck’s unforgettable journey down the Mississippi in America’s foremost comic epic—the first great novel in a truly American voice. The Red Badge of Courage re-creates the brutal reality of war and its psychological impact on a young Civil War soldier in one of the most moving and widely read American novels. Billy Budd, Sailor, and Other Stories joins the world’s great tragic literature as a doomed seaman becomes the innocent victim of a clash between social authority and individual freedom.

Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,5, University of Hamburg (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: Nathaniel Hawthorne, 17 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Edgar Allan Poe (1809-49) is perhaps the best-known American Romantic who worked in the so-called Gothic mode. His poems and stories explore the darker side of the Romantic imagination, dealing with the Grotesque, the supernatural, and the horrifying. Poe also rejected the rational and the intellectual in favour of the intuitive and the emotional, a dominant characteristic of the Romantic Movement. For Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-64) literature also seemed to depend on the possibility of the Gothic. Hence, of particular interest to Hawthorne was the nature of evil. Like his contemporary Poe, Hawthorne also made extensive use of symbols. One of Hawthorne's and Poe's distinctive concerns is also that of separating head and heart, intellect and soul. Hawthorne explored these Romantic ideas and the themes of obsession, loss and the impossibility of perfection extensively in his short stories "The Artist of the Beautiful" and "The Birthmark". However, in Poe's life and works and thus also in "Ligeia" and "Morella", the stories to be treated in this analysis, love, death and loss, are indissolubly entwined, and serve as the apotheosis of his science and the springboard for his horror. Some critics think that Poe was only a marketer of Gothic horror borrowed from the German models popular during his time. Hence, the pertinent issue in Poe becomes the origins for the terror of the soul. In the following, it will be analyzed which aspects of American Romanticism are treated in Poe' short stories "Ligeia" and "Morella" and in Hawthorne's "The Artist of the Beautiful" and "The Birthmark". For this reason, it is necessary to take a closer look at American Romanticism as a literary movement first.

EXCEPTIONAL UNABRIDGED EDITION Read one of the greatest masterpieces of all time in a beautiful edition. In the harsh Puritan community of 17th century Boston, Hester Prynne, a young woman married to a much older man, bears an illegitimate child and is sentenced to wear a red A to shame her. She struggles to create a new life of repentance and dignity while her lover, Arthur Dimmesdale, is broken by his own sense of guilt, and her husband, Roger Chillingworth, seeks revenge. Publicly disgraced and ostracized, Hester Prynne draws on her inner strength and certainty of spirit to emerge as the first true heroine of American fiction. The Scarlet Letter, first published in 1850, is an outstanding work of gothic romance by Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864), an American novelist and short story writer. In 1850, adultery was an extremely risqu� subject, but because Hawthorne had the support of the New England literary establishment, it passed easily into the realm of appropriate reading and his masterpiece was an immediate success. This enthralling story remains relevant for its philosophical and psychological depth, and continues to be read as a classic tale on a universal theme: the human conflict between emotion and moral. Referred to as "Great American Novel, this masterpiece of Hawthorne at the height of his literary genius is one of the first mass-produced books in America. Read the other "Great American Novels" in a beautiful book series by the editor Atlantic Editions : The Last of the Mohicans, by James Fenimore Cooper Moby-Dick, by Herman Melville Uncle Tom's Cabin, by Harriet Beecher Stowe The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain
