Brenda Wineapple, Washington Irving Professor
of Modern Literature, has published an essay, “Hawthorne
and Melville; or, The Ambiguities,” in a special issue of
ESQ: A Journal of the American Renaissance devoted to the
relationship between these two unusual writers. The essay is an
outgrowth of a paper on the same topic that Wineapple was
invited to deliver at the American Literature Association
convention two years ago. Wineapple is completing her biography
of Hawthorne.
