	The Blithedale Romance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Blithedale Romance (1852) was the third of the major romances of Nathaniel Hawthorne.
		Much of the action of the novel is set at Blithedale, a utopian socialist community that is founded upon anti-capitalist ideals, yet is destroyed by the self-interested behavior of its members.
		Blithedale is based loosely on Brook Farm, a short-lived commune where Hawthorne lived from April to November 1841.

	The Blithedale romance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The Blithedale Romance has historically been promoted as a novel about an experimental socialist utopia, but as Brenda Wineapple outlined in the excellent Hawthorne: A Life (2003), Hawthorne himself was unsure of what the genuine focus of the book was.
		The Blithedale Romance is also a shaky indictment of Protestant hypocrisy, as its characters are uncomfortably snared between dueling impulses of wishful altruism and a wolfish desire for the absolute triumph of individual will.
		The romance of these pages is not what many modern readers may expect to find here; there is no penultimate consummation of love among these characters, nor is there much happiness indeed to be discerned from the complexity of their relations one with another.

	W.E. Grant: Hawthorne's Hamlet: The Archetypal Structure of The Blithedale Romance
		To suggest that The Blithedale Romance is related to Shakespeare's Hamlet would be absurd from the generic point of view, as the one is dramatic poetry and tragedy, while the other is a prose romance.
		The shared archetype of both Hamlet and The Blithedale Romance is the Oedipus legend, which represents, in its broadest application, "a highly elaborated and disguised account of a boy's love for his mother and consequent jealousy of and hatred towards his father" (Jones 162).
		The aimless existence he leads during the years after Blithedale, as well as his continuing bachelorhood, are indications of his continued suppressed animosity toward Hollingsworth, and his desire for the mother imago -- a desire which eventually comes to rest in his "love" of the virginal Priscilla.

		Instead of viewing it simply as a culminating moment in the tradition of American romance, I would prefer to understand The Blithedale Romance as a transitional novel that offers a critique of romanticism in particular and sentimental culture in general.
		Ironically the rationale for the impossibility of an American romance later became a staple for a critical tradition, which viewed romance as the necessary expressive mode for an American national character.
		What came to be known as the "romance thesis/' as articulated by Richard Chase and others, held that the thinness of American culture militated against a legitimate social fiction such as that of British Victorians.

	The Blithedale Romance Hawthorne
		It was white, with somewhat of a subdued silver sheen, like the sunny side of a cloud; and, falling over the wearer from head to foot, was supposed to insulate her from the material world, from time and space, and to endow her with many of the privileges of a disembodied spirit.
		BLITHEDALE There can hardly remain for me (who am really getting to be a frosty bachelor, with another white hair, every week or so, in my mustache), there can hardly flicker up again so cheery a blaze upon the hearth, as that which I remember, the next day, at Blithedale.
		Agreeing in little else, most of these utterances were like the cry of some solitary sentinel, whose station was on the outposts of the advance guard of human progression; or sometimes the voice came sadly from among the shattered ruins of the past, but yet had a hopeful echo in the future.

		Published in 1852, THE BLITHEDALE ROMANCE remains a captivating work about politics, love, the supernatural, and idealism, written with Hawthorne's sharp wit and deep intelligence.
		The Blithedale Romance is a somewhat dark, depressing tale of idealism gone awry and of friendship and love torn asunder by private ambitions.

		Overall, the book is very entertaining and has an abundance of romantic ideals but Hawthorne’s intention was not solely to entertain his readers with these ideas, but rather to educate them on his views of the subjugation of women during the time period, and the hopelessness of American society.

		With The Blithedale Romance, Hawthorne writes fully in his own time, not haunting his characters with the American past.
		Drawn from his stay at Brook Farm, a communal experiment in living the pastoral life, this engaging story touches on many of the issues of Hawthorne's day, from brotherhood to women's rights and socialism to mesmerism and spiritualism.

		Throughout Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Blithedale Romance, we are given a story of the relationships between the main characters, Zenobia, Hollingsworth, and Priscilla, through the eyes of an unreliable and subjective narrator, Miles Coverdale.
		However, by examining some passages in the story which deal with Coverdale’s affections toward the other two characters, we can support a case that Miles really is telling the truth, and that he really did love Priscilla.
		In fact, when she first comes to Blithedale and starts crying, Coverdale’s reaction was to smile at her.

		In The Blithedale Romance, the narrator, Miles Coverdale, believes that freedom came from apathy, and that emotions enslave individuals.
		By saying that the hermitage keeps his individuality “inviolate”, he is saying that part of his identity remains secret; nobody can corrupt what he or she does not know about.
		An essential passage is on page 104, where Miles says, “but real life never arranges itself like a romance.” The name of the book includes the word “romance”.

		Based on Hawthorne's own experience of a Utopian socialist community outside Boston, "The Blithedale Romance" tells of the attempts of a like-minded group to begin reforming a dissipated America.
		However, rather than dropping bad habits and changing the world, Coverdale the prurient bachelor, Hollingsworth the furious philanthropist, Zenobia the voluptuous feminist, and Priscilla the vulnerable seamstress soon find themselves pursuing egotistical paths which must lead ultimately to tragedy.
		However, I was pleased to discover that The Blithedale Romance was full of mystery and intriguing characters.

		A superb depiction of a utopian community that cannot survive the individual passions of its members.
		A theme of unrealized sexual possibilities serves as a counterpoint to the other failures at Blithedale: class and sex distinctions are not eradicated, and communal work on the farm proves personally unrewarding and economically disastrous.
		Based in part on Hawthorne's own experiences at Brook Farm, an experimental socialist community, The Blithedale Romance is especially timely in light of renewed interest in self-sufficient and other cooperative societies.
