Hawthorne's Chief Theme.
From the Atlantic.

From the Atlantic.
Hawthorne's chief theme was the play of
conscience under a sense of sin and guilt.
Now, nothing is truer than that this theme
had wide illustration in New England, and
especially in it's theology, where it was an
organic factor. The reality of SIM its de-
structive effect character; its doomlil,e
aspect; the horrible certainty of its result;
the impossibility of escape from it except
by a special and personal decree of God;
the haunting misery of it-fed by uncer-
tainty as to escape: the tragedy that not
seldom sprang out of 1t in every community,
all this familiar to Hawthorne, but
1t is singular fact that, while treating the
generic truth, he never seriously touches the
prevalent theological aspects of 1t. 1t IS
not the sin, nor the guilt, nor the reproba-
ton of the New England theology eXclu-
sively that yields him his themes. Had he
established a closer relation to 1T in his
plots he might almost have been claimed
as an adherent or a critic of 1t. But he can
not be located in that region of thought.
Neither sin, nor guilt nor remorse belongs
exclusively to the Puritan, nor to any the
ology though wrought into all. They be-
long to humanity as parts of its universal
problem and it is such that Hawthorne
treated them. Thus he escaped the charge
of provincialism. 1t is no derogation to
admit that he was, in one sense, provincial
like Burns and Scott-but his genius was
adequate to his standing in the broad field
of universal humanity in company with
the great masters of 1t. He Is almost the
only American for whom this claim can be
made, Emerson alone excepted.
