	Ch. 1, The Marble Faun, by Nathaniel Hawthorne, 1859, 1860
		Of these four friends of ours, three were artists, or connected with art; and, at this moment, they had been simultaneously struck by a resemblance between one of the antique statues, a well-known masterpiece of Grecian sculpture, and a young Italian, the fourth member of their party.
		The Faun is the marble image of a young man, leaning his right arm on the trunk or stump of a tree; one hand hangs carelessly by his side; in the other he holds the fragment of a pipe, or some such sylvan instrument of music.
		It is possible, too, that the Faun might be educated through the medium of his emotions, so that the coarser animal portion of his nature might eventually be thrown into the background, though never utterly expelled.

		For travelers after The Marble Faun's publication in 1860, the novel was a necessary item for their European escapades.
		Hawthorne's Marble Faun is not a book I would recommend to the casual reader, unless you are enthralled by highly exaggerated, unrealistic melodramas involving grossly stereotyped, one-dimensional characters (Miriam and Donatello are more intriguing and less one-dimensional, although this is simply my opinion).

		The purpose of this study is to examine and evaluate the various critical approaches to The Marble Faun.
		In The Marble Faun, Hawthorne explores a problem which has become almost an obsession of modern man. This problem is the question of man's moral position in what seems to be a meaningless, if not hostile, universe.
		Donatello's transformation from faun to man is more striking than the transformations of the other three characters, and it is his fall which leads to the question of the felix culpa.

	The Marble Faun by Nathaniel Hawthorne: Chapter 41
		It was never put into marble, however, because the sculptor soon recognized it as one of those fragile creations which are true only to the moment that produces them, and are wronged if we try to imprison their airy excellence in a permanent material.
		But neither was the studio anything better than a dismal den, with its marble shapes shivering around the walls, cold as the snow images which the sculptor used to model in his boyhood, and sadly behold them weep themselves away at the first thaw.
		It was not the one which Kenyon had begun to model at Monte Beni, but a reminiscence of the Count's face, wrought under the influence of all the sculptor's knowledge of his history, and of his personal and hereditary character.

	The Marble Faun by Nathaniel Hawthorne: A searchable online version at The Literature Network
		Hawthorne’s final novel is a provocative look at American artists abroad and a groundbreaking exploration of the influence of European thought on American morality that anticipates the work of Henry James, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Ernest Hemingway, among others.
		Though the second half of the book with the constant guilt ridden faun and Miriam are too much, I think that Hawthorne like many writers and other people found a kind of spiritual and emotional freedom in Italy.
		I often wondered what Hawthorne's writing was like, and when I had the chance to do a research paper on him, it also gave me the chance to read his book THE MARBLE FAUN.

		It was hollowed in among the hills, and open to a glimpse of the broad, fertile valley.
		But now the sculptured urn had a great crack from top to bottom; and the discontented nymph was compelled to see the basin fill itself through a channel which she could not control, although with water long ago consecrated to her.
		She was a fresh, cool, dewy thing, sunny and shadowy, full of pleasant little mischiefs, fitful and changeable with the whim of the moment, but yet as constant as her native stream, which kept the same gush and flow forever, while marble crumbled over and around it.

		Studies in the Novel: 'Villette' and 'The Marble Faun.'@ HighBeam Research
		Similarities between 'Villette' and 'The Marble Faun' suggest that Nathaniel Hawthorne may have read Charlotte Bronte's novel and used it as a model for his book.
		Similarities between characters, settings, symbols, the occurrence of the supernatural and plot structure in the two books suggests at least a subconscious use of Bronte's book on Hawthorne's part.

	The Marble Faun - Nathaniel Hawthorne - Penguin Group (USA)
		Although it is set in Rome, the fictive world of The Marble Faun depends not on Italy's social or historical significance, but rather on its aesthetic importance as a definer of 'civilization'.
		As in The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne is concerned here with the nature of transgression and guilt.
		His examination of the influence of European culture on American travellers lay the groundwork for such later works of American fiction as Mark Twain's The Innocents Abroad and Henry James' The Portrait of a Lady.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on The Marble Faun at Epinions.com
		Though it proved to be Nathaniel Hawthorne's most popular book at the time of its publication, The Marble Faun or The Romance of Monte Beni's reputation has not fared so well since.
		This novel draws heavily from Hawthorne's experiences as an expatriate in Europe, where he traveled extensively through Italy.
		Take for instance, Henry James whose later works were dominated by the expatriate theme, and James himself said The Marble Faun "deserve[s] to rank high among the imaginative productions of our day." So what happened, to this grand work by the author of The Scarlet Letter and The House of Seven Gables?
