Eve TemptedWriting and Sexuality in Hawthorne's Fiction\nAuthor(s): Allan Gardner Lloyd Smith\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138672314, 978-1138672314\nSynopsis\nFirst published in 1984, this book offers a unique interpretation of Hawthornes work, making use of perspectives opened up by Derrida in his work on Rousseau. It offers a psycho-biography of the author as discoverable in the texts and avoids a simplistic Freudian analysis. In doing so, it illuminates the work and re-opens Hawthornes texts to creative discussion.\n\nThis book will be of interest to those studying 19th century literature.
