| 520 | |a From America's founding proclamations in the Declaration of Independence we take a sense of national aspirations for a political order that conforms to 'laws of nature and nature's God.' From this higher law emerge the principles enumerated in that revolutionary document. Are these principles confined to the political, or do they reach into the experience of citizens to inform conduct? Do they include family, local community, and individual face-to-face relations with neighbors and strangers? Can one make a distinct way of life by fidelity to such standards as higher law, equality, liberty, natural rights, and consent? This stimulating volume shows that, like Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, Nathaniel Hawthorne answers these questions affirmatively. Once we view his work in connection with the leading thoughts of the Declaration, we grasp that what Jefferson and Adams had stated explicitly, Hawthorne's fiction conveys dramatically. With examples drawn from Hawthorne's shorter works as well as acknowledged classics, such as The Scarlet Letter, John E. Alvis shows that Hawthorne's characters bear something sacred in their generic humanity, yet are subject to moral judgment. He conveys reciprocity between obligations regulating individual relations and the responsibilities of individuals to their community. This book is distinguished from writings on Hawthorne in its largely positive focus on America. Alvis characterizes Hawthorne as a rational patriot who endorses America's new terms for human association. This fascinating study provides new insights into the mind of one of the greatest American writers. --From book jacket. | ||
