 | The Marble Faun by Flo Gibson, Malcolm Bradbury, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Peter Robb, Richard H. Brodhead
Hawthorne's young American, Hilda, became the model for Henry James's innocent heroines faced with the corrupt sophistications of Europe. This novel, Hawthorne's last, takes place in Rome and centers on a group of friends: Donatello, who becomes a mature person only after he becomes corrupted; Miriam, who persuades him to commit a vengeful murder; and two Americans, Hilda and Kenyon, artists who are witnesses to these terrible events, and who return home sadder but wiser. Hawthorne's descriptions of the Roman milieu--the churches, museums, and streets of the city--are particularly rich and detailed.
