Williams, Rita
- Abstract
This article offers information on the concerns of novelist and short story writer Nathaniel Hawthorne with slavery and freedom that runs in his work. In "Devils and Rebels: The Making of Hawthorne's Damned Politics," critic Larry J. Reynolds creates a strong case that Hawthorne himself saw a relation between antislavery reform and state persecution. Hawthorne had concerns about freedom and slavery, but he did not discover the concerns in the slave markets.
