Hawthorne Illustrated: Three Stories by Nathaniel Hawthorne

Nathaniel Hawthorne has impressed many literary critics and influenced many authors over time. He became famous early in his career and his fame has endured. In Hawthorne Illustrated, master pen & ink illustrator Marc Johnson-Pencook interprets three of Nathaniel Hawthorne's best stories: "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment", "Mr. Higginbotham's Catastrophe", and "Feathertop". Here's a few of the many renowned authors and literary critics who have praised Hawthorne and his stories: Edgar Allan Poe, World Famous Author & Literary Critic --- Mr. Higginbotham's Catastrophe is vividly original and managed most dexterously. Dr. Heidegger's Experiment is exceedingly well imagined, and executed with surpassing ability. The artist breathes in every line of it. In the way of objection we have scarcely a word to say of Hawthorne's tales?beyond trivial exceptions we have really none to make. The style is purity itself. Force abounds. High imagination gleams from every page. Mr. Hawthorne is a man of the truest genius.Harold Bloom, Distinguished Literary Critic --- Hawthorne's highest achievement is not in "The Scarlet Letter" and "The Marble Faun", distinguished as they are, but in the best of his tales and sketches. My personal favorite among all Hawthorne tales is his last, the extraordinary "Feathertop". It is Hawthorne's ultimate legacy.Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Famous American Poet --- Hawthorne's stories, though in prose, are written nevertheless by a poet. He looks upon all things in the spirit of love, and with lively sympathies. His stories come from the hand of a man of genius.Flannery O'Connor, Iconic American Author --- My opinion of Hawthorne is that he was a very great author indeed?I feel more kinship with him than any other American. Henry James, Author, 3-time Nobel Prize Nominee --- Hawthorne was a beautiful, natural, original genius. His work will remain; it is too original and exquisite to pass away; among the men of imagination he will always have his niche. He combined in a singular degree the spontaneity of the imagination with a haunting care for moral problems. In the field of American letters, Hawthorne is the most valuable example of the American genius.
