"Among nineteenth-century American writers, Hawthorne was perhaps the most keenly aware of the decadent carnivalesque, of once naturally occurring holiday merriment being untranslatable to American terms. He was also conflicted, well aware of the killjoy role of Puritanism—its determination to eradicate every vestige of the European festive inheritance—an imaginative legacy invaluable to writers and artists like himself."--The Biology of Horror (2002) by Jack Morgan
