Description

Throughout the 19th century, the study of geometry remained at the core of educational curricula in the USA, strongly affecting how educated Americans construed their world. In this volume, the author details how each of Nathaniel Hawthorne's romances presents a different geometric figure which becomes representative of the work's themes and narrative designs. These geometric figures, when approached from the perspective of Victor Turner's symbolic anthropology, serve as cultural mediators, combining geometric symbolism with a unique narrative perspective to offer metaphors of personal and cultural boundaries. This book presents the literary text as the point of intersection among such disciplines as cultural anthropology, history, mathematics and American literature.
