Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Birthmark
Hi Everyone!
I hope your break is going well. I wanted to share this short story that I found to be incredible. The deployment of alliance, the Romantic critique of science and the Victorian discourse of sexuality are all present in this interesting tale about a scientist-philosopher and his love for perfection. Let me know your thoughts and see you when we get back!
