Welcome to Litsy!

Blithedale Romance episode just posted! I think we were both surprised at how much we enjoyed this one. We discuss the themes (there are many themes) the relevance of said themes to the issues of today, and we address our propensity to misspell things. Jam packed episode full of serious literary issues, proceed with caution.

This week we are delving into Nathaniel Hawthorne's 1852 novel, “The Blithedale Romance.“ We didn't know what to expect going into this novel, and we both were surprised by how relevant the novel still is. We discuss the central themes of the book, including why utopian societies usually fail. A very fun and interesting conversation about a book you might not have heard about.

I love Hawthorne because of the New England imagery it conjures in my mind.

I am not a big fan of Hawthorne. What am I missing? #1001books. #Hawthorne

A weird novel about some people on a commune. It was better than The House of Seven Gables, but not much.
