All editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. &&LI&&RBarnes & Noble Classics &&L/I&&Rpulls together a constellation of influences--biographical, historical, and literary--to enrich each readers understanding of these enduring works.&&L/DIV&&R&&L/B&&R&&L/DIV&&R&&L/DIV&&R&&LDIV&&R &&L/DIV&&R&&LDIV&&RGreed, treachery, mesmerism, and murder are just some of the bricks &&LSTRONG&&RHawthorne&&L/B&&R uses to build &&LI&&RThe House of the Seven Gables&&L/I&&R. Generations before the present story begins, wealthy Colonel Pyncheon covets Matthew Maule's land. When Maule is hanged for witchcraft, he puts a curse on the Colonel--and all his descendants. Now the menacing Judge Pyncheon continues the family tradition of hiding cruelty under a dazzling smile, while his scowling niece, Hepzibah, and half-mad nephew, Clifford, are reduced to poverty by his machinations. But the younger generation, embodied in their distant cousin, Phoebe, becomes a ray of hope penetrating the dark house. &&LBR&&R &&LBR&&RThough Hawthorne openly discusses his book's "moral" in its preface, &&LI&&RThe House of the Seven Gables&&L/I&&R is no dry sermon. In fact, a strong stream of poetic fantasy runs through it, which the author acknowledges by calling it a "romance," rather than a novel. Like his other great works, &&LI&&RThe House of the Seven Gables&&L/I&&R reflects Hawthorne's rich understanding of complex motives, of individuals caught in the unending struggle between our highest aspirations and our basest desires. &&LBR&&R&&L/DIV&&R&&LDIV&&R&&LDIV&&R&&LB&&RGordon Tapper&&L/B&&R, Associate Professor of English at DePauw University, is the author of &&LI&&RThe&&L/I&&R &&LI&&RMachine That Sings: Modernism, Hart Crane, and the Culture of the Body&&L/I&&R. He also wrote the Introduction and Notes to the Barnes & Noble Classics edition of Willa Cather's &&LI&&RMy Ántonia&&L/I&&R.&&L/DIV&&R&&L/DIV&&R&&L/DIV&&R
