Description
This is an essay book. In his preface to the Marble Faun, as before in that to The Blithedale Romance, Hawthorne complained that there was no romantic element in American life; or, as he expressed it',There is as yet no such Faery-land so like the real world that, in a suitable remoteness, one cannot tell the difference, but with an atmosphere of strange enchantment, beheld through which the inhabitants have a propriety of their own'. This he says in The Blithedale preface, and then adds that, to obviate this difficulty and supply a proper scene for his figures',the author has ventured to make free with his old and affectionately remembered home at Brook Farm as being certainly the most romantic episode of his own life, essentially a day-dream, and yet a fact, and thus offering an available foothold between fiction and reality". Probably a genuine Brook-Farmer doubts whether Hawthorne remembered the place and his life there very affectionately, in the usual sense of that word, and although in sending the book to one of them, at least, he said that it was not to be considered a picture of actual life or character'. Do not read it as if it had anything to do with Brook Farm [which essentially it has not], but merely for its own story and characters', yet it is plain that it is a very faithful picture of the kind of impression that the enterprise made upon him.
