Hawthorne, Gender, and Death: Christianity and Its Discontents - Paperback

by R. Weldon (Author)

This book draws on a range of critical approaches, including cultural anthropology, psychoanalytic theory, political justice theory, and feminist theory, to consider the ways that strategies of death denial and their compensatory consolations offer insight into the ethical, gender, and religious questions raised by Hawthorne's novels.
