Set in the 1840s, The Blithedale Romance depicts of a community that cannot survive the passions of its members. Enjoy a tale of failed possibilities and multiple personal betrayals that explores the contrast between what people espouse and what they actually experience in an 'ideal' community.
Based in part on Hawthorne's own experiences at Brook Farm in Massachusetts, a socialist community, The Blithedale Romance is timely in light of renewed interest in self-sufficient and cooperative societies.
