Nathaniel Hawthorne in His Times
Winner of the 1983 National Book Award, James R. Mellow's magisterial biography of Nathaniel Hawthorne places America's first great writer in the midst of the literary and cultural turmoil of the early republic. An unparalleled panorama of 19th-century American intellectual life, the biography convincingly traces Hawthorne's literary concerns to the events of his enigmatic life.
Walker Evans
A comprehensive biography of the hugely influential photographer, written with unrestricted access to his diaries, letters, work logs and contact sheets. The author, an acclaimed biographer, discusses Evans's style as emblematic of a shift in the aesthetic values of 20th century American art. Evans is shown to be not the social propagandist he is often assumed to be from his famous Depression-era photographs, but rather the advocate of an uncompromising photographic realism. Some of his photographs are included, but the volume would be best enjoyed accompanied by a good collection of Evans's work. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
