Fantastic Comprehensive Of Hawthorne's Works

I am currently in the process of writing a paper on Hawthorne and of the 30 sources I've looked at thus far, this is by far the best. It's a solid reference of Hawthorne's works. Wagenknecht does a wonderful job of putting down the facts and incorporating the opinions and reviews of other Hawthorne scholars. The book remains neutral throughout, which I enjoyed. In writing a paper, it's best to be given the facts with some slight interpretation and then formulate your own views. This book spawns creative thoughts. It's definitely recommended to anyone looking for a comprehensive guide! Additionally, in my research I found a lot of the books on Hawthorne to be quite old. This one if more fresh and contemporary as it was written in 1989.
