      abstract = {520    Here in one volume are all five of Nathaniel  Hawthorne's world-famous novels. "The House of the Seven  Gables" moves across 150 years from an ancestral crime  condoned by the Puritan theocracy to a new beginning in the  bustling and democratic Jacksonian era. Hawthorne's  masterpiece, "The Scarlet Letter," is a dramatic allegory  of the social consequences of adultery and the subversive  force of personal desire in a community of laws. "The  Blithedale Romance" explores the perils, which Hawthorne  knew at first hand, of living in a utopian community, and  the inextricability of political, personal, and sexual  desires. "Fanshawe" is an engrossing apprentice work which  Hawthorne published anonymously and later sought to  suppress. "The Marble Faun," his last finished novel,  involves mystery, murder, and romance among American  artists in Rome.},
