About this product

Product Information

The principal setting is a communal farm called Blithedale (i.e., Happy Valley ), a would-be modern Arcadia along the lines of the anti-capitalist ideals of Charles Fourier, yet is netheless destroyed by the self-interested behavior of some of its members. Among those members are: Hollingsworth, a momaniacal philanthropist and confirmed misogynist who intends to turn Blithedale into a colony for the reformation of criminals; Zebia, a passionate feminist of exotic origin who ironically finds Hollingsworth's misogyny irresistible; Priscilla, a young and impecunious seamstress from the city; and Miles Coverdale, the unreliable narrator, a mir poet and dandy given to acts of voyeurism.
