But very few will know that Monsieur de l'Aubépine enjoyed a surprisingly intelligent critical reception in France during his lifetime. No fewer than six-often startling-essays about the American author appeared in leading French periodicals from 1852 to 1864. \u003ci\u003eThe French Face of Nathaniel Hawthorne, \u003c\/i\u003e edited by Michael Anesko and N. Christine Brookes, recuperates these lost (or forgotten) critical assessments, making available to English readers for the first time the full texts of these extraordinary contemporaneous French critical essays. Besides offering elegantly rendered (and helpfully annotated) translations of the essays, Anesko and Brookes analyze them in relation to their immediate historical context and examine their unexpected relevance to later critical trends and arguments. Literary scholarship in our own time calls more and more for the enlargement of perspective and the adaptation of our reading practices to dismantle the narrower limits of nationalist traditions. \u003ci\u003eThe French Face of Nathaniel Hawthorne\u003c\/i\u003e is a remarkable body of work that can help scholars better understand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Anesko\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814256074\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814256077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/09\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.73d","brand":"Michael Anesko","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48457728753919,"sku":"9780814256077","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0a20ee8d-b1fe-4aa5-ab95-63d6affc0d2a.jpg?v=1777400686","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-french-face-of-nathaniel-michael-anesko-9780814256077","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
