About this eBook

Author Hawthorne, Nathaniel, 1804-1864
Title Passages from the English Notebooks, Volume 2.
Credits Produced by Tapio Riikonen and David Widger
Summary "Passages from the English Notebooks, Volume 2" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a collection of travel essays and personal reflections written in the mid-19th century. This volume contains Hawthorne's observations and experiences during his time in England, exploring various social gatherings, landscapes, and encounters with notable figures of his era. Through his thoughtful narrative, Hawthorne captures the essence of 19th-century England, its culture, and the intricacies of his own thoughts and feelings about the places and people he encounters. The opening of the work presents a vivid account of Hawthorne attending a dinner at the Milton Club, where he mingles with various authors and intellectuals of the time. It describes his impressions of the guests, the sumptuous meal, and the atmosphere of camaraderie, underscored by a sense of discomfort and self-consciousness that he feels among the literary elite. His observations extend from the interactions and conversations to the physical descriptions of the venue. This section sets a reflective tone, drawing readers into Hawthorne's world as he navigates social landscapes, infusing personal reflections with a keen eye for detail and a deeper commentary on human nature and societal conventions.
