On settler utopias/ucronias: Holly Hill-Stanford, ‘Hawthorne in Eden’, 2015

03Mar15
Abstract: In several of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s tales, Puritan New England becomes a metaphor for
Eden. In developing this metaphor, Hawthorne expresses his desire for Utopia and laments
its loss, even as he expunges his guilt for his Puritan ancestry. Several examples of
Hawthorne’s writings will be used to support this position.
