Based on his readings of Hawthorne's The Minister's black veil, the prefaces to his books of stories, and Henry James' book on Hawthorne, Miller (U. of California, Irvine) argues that works of literature make history rather than being determined by it, reflecting it, or merely representing it. Includes an interview with Miller and a bibliography of his critical works. Acidic paper. Paper edition (unseen), $18.95. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
