Crooked Sticks: A Criticism of Brook Farm thrown on Hollingsworth
Takeshi KAWASHITA（Graduate Student at Kyushu University）
A target for the criticism of Brook Farm in The Blithedale Romance is that Brook Farmers had lost their original ideals in1844 which was to“insure a more natural union between intellectual and manual labor”and to put more value on the attitude,
that was against the financial expediency and marketplace economy. Nathaniel Hawthorne s disappointment at it comes to,surface by Coverdale s confession that the experiment has proved a failure because of its lapsing into Fourierism. Indeed accepting his blame is easy, but if we consider that he was involved in the community from April to October in 1841, he musthave felt a heavy disappointment in this period. According to Sterling F. Delano, it was the financial difficulties of Brook Farmwhich was one of“the dark sides of Utopia.” He refers to the fact that Hawthorne got really fed up with the hard physical labor, but what actually rubbed his fur the wrong way might be that the farm did not have any certain revenue nor definite finan,cial plan and their prospects remained unprosperous. Besides, after Hawthorne s withdrawing from the community, theywould not pay him back his investment, in spite of his demand. It deepened the rift between Hawthorne and Brook Farmers,

1who had been going deeper and deeper into debt until they came to embrace Fourierism in 1844. In a word, their financial
problems disappointed Hawthorne seriously, and here we get a glimpse of another criticism on Brook Farmers. In this study, I,
attempt to reconsider Hawthorne s censure on Brook Farm.
The financial problems are reflected in the relationship between Hollingsworth and capitalist Zenobia in The Blithedale
Romance. Hollingsworth dreams of constructing and running rehabilitation facilities, exploiting her fortune in the beginning.
,
But, once Zenobia s half-sister Priscilla inherits the fortune by the will of old Moodie, he becomes more intimate with her thanwith Zenobia. Consequently, Zenobia commits suicide, and it causes him to suffer so much from the pangs of conscience. This
is why his dream collapses. In short, his optimistic financial plan ruins his ideal. The important point to note here is that this,optimistic plan is the reason why Coverdale refuses to help his ideal, and this reminds us of Hawthorne s disappointment in,
the experiment in Brook Farm, as Delano points out. Thus, the cause of Hollingsworth s failure seems to reflect the financial
problems of Brook Farm, evidently. Therefore, the image of the leaders in the community, Ripley and others, is evident in the
figure of Hollingsworth.
However, when we read the work, noticing the relation between Hollingsworth and the leaders in Brook Farm, we cometo an incompatible expression in it. It is“a narrow education,”a term of criticism thrown on Hollingsworth by Coverdale. But
in the farm, founded by the highbrows in the days, education was the chief purpose of their activities and it would be hard to
cast the reproach on them. A clue to solve the incoherence may be found in the circumstance of education at that time; for
Hawthorne was pretty concerned in the educational reform of Horace Mann before participating in the experiment. His educational view was a kind of moral education that tended little to a specific religion, but had a common element in each Christiandenomination. Literature was used for the moral education in the reform. In case of Hawthorne, it would be said that his con,cern came to incline toward the educational reform and moral education for children, after he had published Grandfather s
Chair（1841）, Famous Old People（1841）, and Liberty Tree（1841）. In fact, it seems obvious that, amid the fluid society, literature was being given to an authority of morality that Puritans had once, and Hawthorne was going to be a main shaft in theshift. Therefore he might resume that the distorted idealist such as Hollingsworth was produced by the education he received,
and the reproach of“a narrow education”to him could represent the old religious education before the reform. Thus, in The
Blithedale Romacne, Hawthorne did criticize the Puritanical arrogance of Brook Farmers about money, by describing a limit ofreligious education that tended to force them to devote themselves to a particular tenet so far.

The Worth of“Currency”
Ai TAKAHASHI（Ochanomizu University）,,
Both Herman Melville s Pierre, or the Ambiguities and Nathaniel Hawthorne s The Blithedale Romance present women
who are supposed to be, in Sedgwick sense,“exchanged”between men. Lucy rejects to be“exchanged”in Pierre, but Priscilla accepts the role in The Blithedale Romance. By examining their different attitudes toward their roles, this article discusses
the (im) possibility of subversion by women as“currency,”who are thought to have no value in a modern male-centered society unless they are“exchanged”between men.
Lucy is supposed to marry or be“exchanged”with Pierre, the heir of the Glendinning. She, as“currency,”could legitimate his heirship as well as his male identity. However, she is submissive and never exerts her power before she falls into her,
swoon caused by Pierre s proclamation of his“marriage”to Isabel, his half sister. After waking up, Lucy expresses her will to,,live with Pierre and refuses Glen, Pierre s cousin whom Mary, Pierre s mother, designates as the heir to her estate in her will.
,
Lucy s refusal of her“exchange”prevents her brother and Glen from establishing a homosocial bond. Her purposeful behavior at this stage shows a possibility that women could destabilize a homosocial society established by the“exchange”of women.
Priscilla, on the other hand, seems to accept her expected role as“currency.” She is tossed tamely among Old Moodie,
Westervelt and Hollingsworth, all of whom are interested in Zenobia. Priscilla intervenes between each of her custodians andthe wealthy woman who steps out of the system of a modern male-dominated society. Among the men, Priscilla trusts Hol-2

lingsworth, devotes her affection to him and follows him submissively. Submissive as she is, she displaces him as guardian in
the course of the desperate failure in Blithedale. Their displaced relationship is attributed to his dependence on her submissiveness, which is characteristically regarded as one of the pillars of“the cult of True Womanhood”in the 19th century. Their,reversed relationship caricatures men s dependence on“submissive”women so that they can keep their masculinity. Therefore, feminine women like Priscilla could be more subversive of a male-centered society.
Both Lucy and Priscilla are expected to function as“currency.” The former rejects to be“exchanged”and tries to destabilize the system of a homosocial society. The latter, on the other hand, seemingly accepts her role but virtually underminessocial values based on domestic ideology by her extraordinary femininity. In spite of their different courses of life, both women
have subversive power over a modern male-dominated society.

Nathaniel Hawthorne and C. G. Jung
－ Referring to“The Custom House”－,
Mariko TAKASHIMA（Kagoshima Women s Junior College）,
The text of The Scarlet, Letter, full of archetypal images, suggests some important relationship between Jung s psychology,
and Hawthorne s works. If their works have some meaningful factors in common, so might do their internal experiences. On
this assumption, this paper is aimed at considering how Hawthorne was related with maternity and paternity in“The Custom,
House”, a kind of autobiography, by referring to Jung s case and his viewpoint. For this relationship seems to be one of themost fundamental experiences for the psyche.
Hawthorne seems to have been haunted by two images of Father archetypes offered by Erich Neumann: the Earth Father,which essentially belongs to the matriarchate stage in the development of consciousness and the Spiritual Father, the patriarchic authority. We investigate these images, an idealistic paternal image and an image of blood succession from father to son in“The Custom House.” Hawthorne, as a middle-aged man, must have been seeking for an idealistic paternity, trying to solve,
his boyish problems such as hostility or ambivalent attachment to paternal persons, which are parallel to Jung s case.
At the same time he had a tendency to find simultaneously blessing and sin in the bond with his mother or sisters. Thistendency, intertwined with his hatred for the incest by his maternal ancestors, is assumed to have strengthen his ambivalentfeelings for maternity. These feelings are symbolized in his descriptions of the American eagle and the old town of Salem. In,
Jung s case, such a tendency was intensified by a mysterious split in personality of his mother.
,
Consequently, Hawthorne s quest for the idealistic paternity was naturally connected with a reconciliation or an integration of two conflicting images; the Spiritual Father image and that of the Earth Father-Great Mother complex. We consider,
how the ghost of Jonathan Pue led the author to such a reconciliation, referring to one of Jung s dreams about Freud and what,,
Philemon, Jung s Self image, means. Led by Pue, who might be Hawthorne s Self image, he seems to have taken his own“process of individuation”.

Workshop: Reading“The Birth-mark”
Love and Chastity
Sanzo YAHAGI（Gakushuin University）,
One is initially startled to realize how much of the sexual image Hawthorne uses in his descriptions of Aylmer s removalof the birth-mark from his wife:“even to be weaned from them by any second passion,”“capable of impregnating all the breezes,”and“lest it prove as detrimental to you.” If we add to them the self-evident love words,“rapture”and“ecstasy,”we aresure to conclude that“The Birth-mark”can read as a story of carnal love between the newly wedded couple.

3

The argument can be fortified by careful analyses of the function of the“Hand”:“the ineludible gripe,”and“its tiny
grasp.” Georgiana is being firmly grasped and controlled by Nature, of which Aylmer is insanely jealous. He wishes to snatch
his wife from Nature by“unclasping”its firm gripe and embrace her in his own hands.
,
The birth-mark can be also thought to be a sign of Georgiana s passion. When it burns intensely on her white cheek, thevivid contrast in color shows that the apparently decent wife deeply suffers from carnal desire. It would not be far-fetched to
say that Georgiana is another Faith in“Young Goodman Brown.”
Hawthorne wrote at the Old Manse the love stories in succession:“The Birth-mark,”“The Artist of the Beautiful,”and,,“Rappaccini s Daughter.” In-depth reading of the trilogy of love may help to shed light on Hawthorne s as yet complex andconfusing notions of love and chastity.

Aylmer s Quest for Whiteness: The Birthmark and True White Womanhood
Misa OHNO（Chiba University of Commerce）
I read“The Birth-mark”in the context of the antebellum racial politics.
,
The birthmark on Georgiana s cheek is associated with the racial other. It is described in words, such as“monster,”“lowest,”and“brute,”which have been used for the racial other, while words connected to whiteness are given to,
Georgiana s white cheek. The birthmark in the shape of a human hand represents a practical and useful tool, and should be removed from a true white woman. It is also given an image of a branding iron, which was used for black slaves. Aminadab, who,does not feel the need to eliminate the birthmark, has an image of the racial other. Aylmer s strong aversion to the birthmark
is similar to feelings of a person laden with racial prejudice.
Without the birthmark, the married life of Aylmer and Georgiana shows perfect whiteness. Georgiana, who is morally,,
pure and obedient to her husband, is a true woman. Aylmer s laboratory and Georgiana s boudoir are designed on the basis of,domestic ideology. Furniture in Georgiana s boudoir suggests that she has the privileges of whiteness.
,
Considering the antebellum racial politics,“The Birth-mark”implies another context. Aylmer s experiment can be readas his attempt to eradicate the element of the racial other and achieve perfect whiteness.

Human Activities as Pseudo-Sciences

Takashi NISHIMAE（Okayama University）

As is well known, Hawthorne makes some critical comments on science, pseudo-science, or scientific ways of thinking in
his works and notebooks. He often severely criticizes those people or characters who try to reduce spiritual values to physical,or material elements. In 1830 s there was a pseudo-scientific fever in America which affected not only ordinary, uneducatedpeople but intellectuals as well. My presentation, stimulated largely by Traylor Stoehr（1978）, but deeply rooted in my own,
interest in the relation between literature and science in general, is aimed to re-read“The Birthmark”as one of Hawthorne s
responses to such a foolish kind of human activities as pseudo-sciences.
Discussions have developed in my paper along with quotations from the text of the story, focusing especially on these,,points:（1）general view of 19th century American people s consciousness of science/pseudo-science;（2）Aylmer s obsession,
which has led him to study the mysteries of this world and beyond;（3）Aylmer s conscious/unconscious introduction of his,wife to his own peculiar world of science;（4）Georgiana s basically obedient, but occasionally reluctant, attitude to his,,,,
husband s experiments; and（5）Georgiana s death as a consummation of Aylmer s efforts to remove the mark from his wife s
cheek.
My conclusion is that Hawthorne, at least in this short piece, depicts an ironical/cynical view of human absurdities which4,come out sometimes as historical facts and/or sometimes as people s fictional concerns.

A False Alchemist, Aylmer : A Study of Hawthorne s Attitude towards 19th Century Science andPopular Novels
Shoko TSUJI（Matsuyama University）,
In Nathaniel Hawthorne s short-story“The Birth-mark,”it is generally considered that the protagonist, Aylmer, who,tries to remove a birthmark from his wife s cheek with chemicals, is portrayed as a suspicious, pre-modern alchemist. Howev,,
er, I would like to present a fresh interpretation of Aylmer s characterization and Hawthorne s true hidden intentions therein.
Hawthorne does not necessarily regard alchemists to be suspicious persons. On the contrary, he appreciates their modest
attitudes towards the study of Nature. Moreover, Hawthorne finds common points between alchemists and Romantic writers,
including himself. They both try to convey the secret truths of Nature to a very limited number of sophisticated and knowl,
edgeable readers. We should consider that Aylmer s true problem lies in his differences from such alchemists, rather than in
their similarities.
I propose that Aylmer is an example of modern scientists, rather than alchemists. Through his experiments, he tries to,control and triumph over Nature. Therefore, the final and fatal failure of Aylmer s trial, the death of his beloved wife, implies,
Hawthorne s criticism of modern scientists and their arrogant attitudes.
At the same time, Aylmer is similar to the popular novelists of his time whose writing styles differ from those of the alchemists and the Romantic writers. He continues to write his own books which are so easy that even his own wife, without,
any expert knowledge, can understand them. During Hawthorne s time, popular novelists issued a steady stream of works tothe public and earned large incomes.
,
Through the character of Aylmer, we can discover Hawthorne s negative views on the rise of modern science and, moreover, on the rise of popular novels.

Hawthorne s English Experience and English Romance
Ikuko KAWANISHI（Kinki University）
In 1853, N. Hawthorne accepted the post of U. S. consul at Liverpool with great expectation for the financial future of his
young family and himself. He intended to save money to live on for the rest of his life and to stay in Italy. His stay in England
was from July 16, 1853 to January 5, 1858. He returned and stayed for about one year from June 23, 1859 to July 16, 1860 tofinish his last romance, The Marble Faun.
From the summer of 1853 to the winter of 1858, Hawthorne kept a journal（The English Notebooks）and hoped to make awork of fiction from his English experience. In April of 1855 there was“the germ of a new Romance”in his mind. （Letter
779） Hawthorne got the idea of an English romance from Americans who came to the consulate in order to claim English title,
or English soil and from the legend of a bloody footstep at Smithhill s Hall, which he visited in August of 1855. In Rome, inlate March-May 19 of 1858, Hawthorne wrote sketches for“The Ancestral Footstep.” Back in America, in 1860, he again began writing the American claimant romance, a second version of his English story, and gave it up finally in March of 1861.
,
The romance is the tale of an American s misguided effort to claim an English estate to which he was entitled as a descen,dant. In a way, the idea was symbolic of Hawthorne s sense of his relation to England. He had a strong yearning towards Eng,land, as a descendant of Puritans. He wished to trace his ancestor s home. One month after his beginning his consular office,Hawthorne wrote to J. T. Fields to ask Mr. J. Savage, the antiquarian, what part of England the original William Hawthornecame from. （Letter 665） Hawthorne himself searched about for the origin in any church and churchyard he could go. In

5March of 1855, he wrote to W. D. Ticknor to ask“any person skilled in genealogy”about his ancestos and how to get any in,,formation about it.（Letter 788） But he couldn t find his ancestor s home in his lifetime.
After the Consular Bill passed in March of 1855, Hawthorne was forced to economize on money, and subletted his rented,
house. In England, Hawthorne couldn t have two kinds of homes － the central home for him and his family and the ancestral
home. He sought ties with England but remained a detached stranger. Hawthorne, whose imagination had been stirred by the,past or history, couldn t complete an English romance without getting the English past and English identity. He could produce
only confused and incomplete sketches.
,
It is easy to attribute Hawthorne s loss of artistic powers to physical or mental collapse. Hawthorne could write a seriesof essays（Our Old Home）deriving from The English Notebooks. His problems were with the romance alone. Three months
before his death, Hawthorne wrote Fields: If I could but go to England now, I think that the sea-voyage and the“Old Home”
might set me all right.（Letter 1032）

Hawthorne and Our Old Home
Kuniyasu TSUCHIDA（Aichi Bunkyo University）
Our Old Home（1863）is a book of essays by Nathaniel Hawthorne. He was United States consul at Liverpool（1853-57）, and visited many places in Great Britain. He was interested in buildings, and wrote about them. Our Old Home
consists of twelve chapters. I will introduce twelve stories（an article a chapter）in the book.
1“Consular Experience.” The story is a foolish one, as Hawthorne himself writes“I recollect another case, . . . with afoolish king of pathos entangled in it.” One day, a man,“dressed in a sky-blue, cut-away coat and mixed trowsers, both garments worn and shabby,”came into the consular private room. He came from Connecticut, to have an interview with the
Queen.
2“Leamington Spa.” Hawthorne visited Leamington Spa again and again, and stayed there. One day, he observed agrave-stone, and“found an almost illegible epitaph on the stone, and with difficulty made out this forlorn verse:--‘Poorly
lived, / And poorly died, / Poorly buried, / And no one dried.’”It is a story of a man of“a cold and luckless life,”and of his final
resting-place.
,
3“About Warwick.”I will introduce an article about the old soldier and his wife in Lycester s Hospital.
,
4“Recollections of a Gifted Woman.” Hawthorne visited Shakspere s birth-place in the summer of 1855, and met an
English girl. He writes“she was not a menial, but remarkably genteel（an American characteristic）for an English girl.”,
5“Lichfield and Uttoxeter.” He was interested in penance（the theme of The Scarlet Letter）. He visited Johnson s birth,
place in Lichfield and the site of Dr. Johnson s penance in Uttoxeter.
6“Pilgrimage to Old Boston.”It is a story of Mr. Porter who is a local antiquary in Boston.
7“Near Oxford”I will quote the article of the besotted Duke in Blenheim from chapter 7. He“was thinking of nothing
nobler than how many ten-shilling tickets had that day been sold.
8“Some of the haunts of Burns”It is a sketch of Mauchline, a rusty and time-worn town in Scotland.
9“A London Suburb.” In Greenwich Hospital, the“pensioners are the petted children of the nation and that the government is their dry-nurse, and that the old men themselves have a childlike consciousness of their position.”
10“Up the Thames.”He visits Chelsea Hospital and writes“I gave the pensioner（but I am afraid there may have been alittle affectation in it）a magnificent guerdon of all the silver I had in my pocket, to requite him for having unintentionallystirred up my patriotic susceptibilities.”
11“Outside Glimpses of English Poverty”It is a story of an almshouse.
,
12“Civic Banquets”When he was invited to the Mayor s dinner-party, he made a speech and showed his patriotism.

6Hawthorne and England“A Cold and Critical Observer”
Ichitaro TOMA（Nihon University）
From 1853 to 1857, Nathaniel Hawthorne kept a journal of his time in England.“Six or seven”volumes of the journal
contained candid impressions of England, and consequently, Hawthorne preferred, with the exception of Our Old Home , that,they not be published. Nevertheless in 1870, six years after Hawthorne s death, his widow, Sophia, published the journal as
Passages from the English Notebooks , after removing innuendos against the English as well as the mention of clouds,,
trees, plants, etc. Randall Stewart, who had access to Hawthorne s original journal, published the volumes as The English,
Notebooks by Nathaniel Hawthorne in 1941. Six years previously Stewart s journal article had cited numerous instances,of Hawthorne s impressions of English society, people and personalities, nature and agriculture that Sophia had expurgatedfrom the original journals in the 1870 publication.
,,
Stewart s views of Hawthorne s patriotism tend to favor American values and views. It is the objective of this paper to,,point out that such a unilateral interpretation, however, is not a de facto result of examining Hawthorne s journals in Sophia s,,
or Julian s versions. In fact, the reactions to Hawthorne s private notebooks must be understood within the time frame in,,which they were published. In this way, we may weigh the reactions to Sophia s and Julian s editions and compare them to,
Stewart s manuscripts, which were much more caustic than the later editions.

Hawthorne,s Consciousness toward England
Keisuke KAWAKUBO（Reitaku University）
I. We are very happy to have the symposium,“Hawthorne and England,”because this theme has only been rarely discussed in Japan as well as abroad. （See Raymona Hull, Nathaniel Hawthorne: The English Experience, xii）
. As the fourth andfinal presenter, I would like to focus on his consciousness toward England in his life and his works.
,
II. Hawthorne s memory of his ancestral Puritans is persistent throughout his life from his early tales. Early examples,
are:--“My Kinsman, Major Molineaux,”and“The Gray Champion”“…he is the type of New-England s hereditary spirit”（CE9:18）.“Endicott and the Red Cross.”“What have we to do with England?”（CE 9:440）. When he was between the ages of 8
and 12, America fought again with England. （1812-14）Naturally young Hawthorne was influenced by the wartime atmosphere. Later examples are the last fragmentary romances such as The American Claimant Manuscripts（CE:12）.
III. He stayed in the Great Britain as American Consul at Liverpool from 1953 to 1857. At that time Britain was the mostprosperous country in the world, and America was far behind Britain. He was, therefore, obliged to meet British arrogance.
He felt chagrined and expressed such a feeling frankly in his English Notebooks. In a word, that is British Philistinism vs.
American Puritan-narrowness and straitlacedness. It is curious to know that Benjamin Franklin, who was born about 100
years earlier than Hawthorne and stayed in England for many years, had no trouble with British arrogance. He had probably
no consciousness of his being an American. See Gordon S. Wood, The Americanization of Benjamin Franklin（The Penguin,
Press, 2004）. England is, however, Hawthorne s ancestral place（CE 21:138）, and as his stay in England becomes longer, hegrows assimilated in the beauty of English life. As he is leaving England, he expresses his attachment to England:“I havenow been so long in England that it seems a cold and shivery thing to go anywhere else.”Jan. 3, 1858 (CE 22:455)
IV. After returning to America. No antipathy to England is visible in his later works. For example, the description of thebattle of Concord in Septimius Felton（CE 13:20-21）has no tension of the fight for freedom against tyranny.
,
V. Maturity but “a Complex Fate”as is written by Henry James:“It s a complex fate, being an American.”---Henry
James to Charles Eliot Norton, February 4, 1872; James , Letters, ed. Leon Edel（Cambridge: Harvard University Press,
1974-）, I, 274.

Toward the Future of Hawthorne Criticism
Kazuko TAKEMURA (Ochanomizu University)
Hawthorne and the Real: Bicentennial Essays was published in 2005. According to its editor, Millicent Bell, this book is arealization of the idea shared at a meeting of the Executive Council of the Nathaniel Hawthorne Society in 2002 that“the bi,
centennial of this famous writer s birth was an occasion for a rediscovery as well as a celebration.”Without any other arrange,
ment than“defining‘our’Hawthorne,”all the contributors deal with Hawthorne s textual responses to the social and politicalconditions of his days. Interestingly, for this bicentennial the Nathaniel Hawthorne Society of Japan also published a book ofcollected essays, which likewise traces the relationship between the author and his social milieu, that is, reflections of his bi,
ographical events upon his works.（Its review will be carried in the forthcoming number of the NHSJ s journal called Forum.）
This kind of new-historicist approaches had, nevertheless, already been started by the contributors themselves in the
1980s, or even in the 1970s if feminist research is included. Indeed, each of them is an eminent Hawthornian who has beenleading Hawthorne criticism this couple of decades. In this sense the project may not exactly be called a“rediscovery”of
Hawthorne literature. But, conversely, this compilation of recent ideological readings could be regarded as a sort of parting address to the long-standing reception of Hawthorne as an ahistorical romancer or as an allegorist of universal psychic matters:
This reception has been continued since the author himself called his work a romance or an allegory.
,
Following Bell s introductory essay, each of the contributors tries to enlarge his or her own turf, in the process of which,
unexplored historical phases of Hawthorne s works are developed. Among them two perspectives interest me most. One is a,transatlantic viewpoint presented by John Carlos Rowe. Hawthorne s references to British and Continental matters, whichhave tended to be treated in light of his own career or as historical implications of the past colonial days, can or should be reexamined in relation to the transatlantic（inter/trans-national）politics in the antebellum period, when the idea of nation-state
had come to be established on both sides of the Atlantic. Incidentally, in July, 2006, a conference titled“Transatlanticism inAmerican Literature: Emerson, Hawthorne, Poe”will be held at Oxford University in England, under the joint sponsorship of
the Ralph Waldo Emerson Society, the Nathaniel Hawthorne Society, and the Poe Studies Association. The other intriguing,,
exploration is Leland S. Person s analysis of“domestic violence”represented in Hawthorne s early tales such as“Roger,
Malvin s Burial,”“The Gentle Boy,”and“Young Goodman Brown”（although just mentioned here）. I feel the missing clue is,given to what has remained an enigma since I first read these short stories. Hawthorne s texts cannot only be pursued interms of inward“darkness”but also of outward“violence,”whether physical or psychological, in spite of his apparent autistic
demeanor. It is also intriguing that most articles included here refer to gender politics to a certain extent. My complaint is thetitle of this book. It is confusing, especially to the people familiar with psychoanalytical criticism, since the term used here,“the real,”reminds them of its namesake idea in the Lacanian formulation.
,,
Following Brenda Wineapple s Hawthorne: A Life（2003）and Philip McFarland s Hawthorne in Concord（2004）, Megan
Marshall published a voluminous biography in 2005, which does not, nevertheless, deal with the writer himself but his wifeand her two sisters. Several biographies of these women, whether separately or together, have been written, from Louise Hall,,
Tharp s The Peabody Sisters of Salem（1950）through Patricia Dunlavy Valenti s two volume Sophia Peabody Hawthorne（only,vol.1 has come out so far）. Among them Marshall s The Peabody Sisters: Three Women Who Ignited American Romanticism isdistinguished by its delineation of the three（or four）different lifeways the sisters, Elizabeth, Mary, and Sophia,（and theirmother）chose, or were forced to choose, under the restricted conditions for women of those days. As shown in the subtitle,
their commitments to the intellectual climate of this era are also discussed in relation to their male prominent contemporaries,,,,
including Nathaniel Hawthorne（Sophia s husband）, Horace Mann（Mary s husband）, William Ellery Channing（Elizabeth s
mentor）, Bronson Alcott（assisted by Elizabeth to run his experimental Temple School）, Theodore Parker（patron of,,
Elizabeth s book shop）, Washington Allston（Sophia s advisor on painting）.
This book, starting with an episode in the wedding of Sophia and Nathaniel, ends on their first anniversary, when her art

8

advisor, Allston, died of heart failure. Their conjugal love, which has been talked about by their son and other biographers aswell as Hawthorne critics, is to be reframed in terms of the prenuptial achievements as an artist by Sophia, who had been supported or instructed by her mother and her two elder sisters---all bright, independent, active, and public-spirited. This imageof Sophia is emphasized further by another profile, Sophia Peabody Hawthorne. In this sense its second volume is eagerly
awaited.
,Marshall s triple biography, on the other hand, rather focuses on Elizabeth, more talented and energetic than the othertwo. The eldest sister directly and indirectly contributed to the development of the mid-nineteen century American intellectual movement, which was termed, for the first time by her,“Transcendentalism.” She also ran a bookstore in Boston, which
was the gathering place for Transcendentalists such as Ralph Waldo Emerson in the 1840s, and published their journal, The
Dial, for two years. In spite of this, it seems she as well as her sisters could not be reckoned to have been influential enough,to“ignite American romanticism”（italics mine）. Rather, what is impressive in Marshall s narration is the tons of struggles,
the three（or four）women faced and their survivals in their own ways on the eve of the first women s gathering for liberation
at Seneca Falls. As put in the closing paragraph of this book,“[t]he three Peabody sisters’lives spanned most of the nineteenth century,”while the narrative covers only the first half of their lives until 1843. Its sequel is also awaited, which will
surely be as vividly written as the present one, based upon the documents the author has collected and researched for twenty
years and more. The love triangle among Sophia, Elizabeth and Nathaniel is retold by Marshall in an essay carried in New
Yorker, titled“The Other Sister: Was Nathaniel Hawthorne a cad?”.
,This year as well as the past ones has seen varied results of academic investigations on Hawthorne. Clark Davis s,
Hawthorne s Shyness: Ethics, Politics, and the Question of Engagement is, as the author claims, against the grain of the recent
historical readings, which are epitomized by Bicentennial Essays mentioned above. Davis introduces Emmanuel Levinas, Stan,ley Cavell, Martin Heidegger, and other thinkers into his ethical examination of Hawthorne s texts. The ethical dimension related with the engagement of the Other is certainly to be pursued, which seems, however, to be necessarily at variance with
ideological approaches because, as Davis himself paradoxically says,“the self must take its place within time and within its
community to find the‘more real life.’” N.S. Boone also discusses a tale by Hawthorne as a“Levinasian parable.” What isneeded now seems to be dialectical inquiries between philosophy and ideology.
Striking among articles published this year are reexaminations of Pearl, who is one of the crucial personalities in The
Scarlet Letter but is the most difficult to assess because of her sudden transformation in its closing chapter What is noteworthy,
for us is that Keisuke Kawakubo s Nathaniel Hawthorne: His Approach to Reality and Art was reviewed in the current numberof Nathaniel Hawthorne Review. His book is evaluated by its reviwer, Sanford E. Marovitz, as“simultaneously a critique and atribute, a genuine appreciation for the accomplisments”of Hawthorne as well as an artful portrait of the writer himself. Be,
sides these academic works, I ve recently found a fantastic novel concerning the writer, which came out in 2003. Cathy,
McGough s Interviews with Legendary Writers from Beyond is comprised of imaginary interviews with well-known writers.
Hawthorne is included there along with other American writers---Poe, Longfellow, and Twain. It is funny and just bedtime stories.

E-mail ：kawmyuk@rs.noda.tus.ac.jp（川村幸夫記）国際渉外室だより△昨年のニューズレターで紹介された，ホーソーン生誕 200 周年記念論文集 Hawthorne and the Real: Bicentennial Essays（Ohio State University Press）がアメリカ Nathaniel Hawthorne Society の肝いりで発刊されました。編集者の Millicent
Bell 氏による序文には，同協会の Executive Council によって発刊が決定されたものであると記されています。Bell 氏のほか，Michael T. Gilmore，Larry J. Reynolds，Lawrence Buell，John Carlos Rowe，Nina Baym，Leland S. Pearson，David Leverenz，Rita Gollin，Brenda Wineapple ら錚々たる研究者諸氏による論文集となっています。
△ Nathaniel Hawthorne Review 31:1（Spring 2005）に，Kent State University の Sanford E. Marovitz 氏による川窪啓資氏のNathaniel Hawthorne: His Approach to Reality and Art の書評が掲載されています（61-64）。川窪氏の造詣の深さと，
ホーソーンに寄せる熱意をとても高く評価し，日本のホーソーン研究水準の高さをアメリカ本国に知らしめています。
△今年の MLA の大会（ワシントン DC）でも，例年のようにアメリカ＝ホーソーン協会主催による二つのセッションが行われる予定です。セッションのタイトルは，“Marginal and Seminal Hawthorne”と，“Political Hawthorne”となっています。また，来年度の大会（ニューオーリーンズからフィラデルフィアに変更）では，“Hawthorne as Theorist:
Intelligent Designs and the Romance”，および“Transatlantic Hawthorne: Influences and Interventions”の二つのセッションが，ホーソーン協会主催で開催されるということです。来年度のこれらのセッションへのプロポーザルの締め切りは，2006 年 3 月 1 日で，20 分のペーパーの要旨 1 ～ 2 枚分を，現在の Nathaniel Hawthorne Society 会長サミュエル・コール氏宛（samcoale@cox.net）に送るということになっています。
△同様に，American Literature Association の大会が 2006 年 5 月 25-28 日にサンフランシスコで開催されるます。こちらの大会では，“Adam and Eve and Nathaniel”，および“Hawthorne and the Social Contract”という二つのセッションが，アメリカ＝ホーソーン協会主催で開催されます。こちらのプロポーザルの締め切りは（今からでは遅いかもしれませんが）2006 年 1 月 30 日で，やはりサミュエル・コール氏宛（samcoale@cox.net）に要旨 1 ～ 2 枚分を送るということです。詳しくは，ALA のサイト（www.americanliterature.org）を。
△ 2006 年度 Nathaniel Hawthorne Society の大会は，7 月 13 日～ 16 日英国オックスフォード大学で，“Transatlanticism inAmerican Literature: Emerson, Hawthorne, Poe”と題して開催される予定です。この大会は，Ralph Waldo Emerson
Society，Nathaniel Hawthorne Society，Poe Studies Association の三つの協会によって共同開催されるということです。
参加申し込みなどは，Nathaniel Hawthorne Society のウェブページ（http://asweb.artsci.uc.edu/english/HawthorneSociety/nh.html）から，“News”のページを開くと，大会用の特設ページをたどることができます。申し込み〆切は 7 月 3日となっていますが，4 月 1 日以降は，料金が高くなるのでお早めに。
△末尾になりましたが，長らく国際渉外委員をつとめてくださった阿野文朗先生が退き，今年度から新しく高尾と中村が委員としてあたることとなりました。阿野先生の広汎なコネクションには及びもつきませんが，少しでも会員のみなさまに役に立つ情報をご紹介していけたらと思っています。阿野先生のこれまでのお働きに深く感謝するとともに，新しい国際渉外委員にもご指導ご鞭撻のほどをよろしくお願いします。また，ホーソーン関係で，会員諸氏のお役に立つと思われる情報がありましたら，お気軽に高尾までご連絡ください（naochika@tamacc.chuo-u.ac.jp）。ニューズレターに限らず，ホームページなどでも up-to-date な情報をご紹介できたらと思っています。
