Hawthorne in the New Yorker

Hawthorne has made an appearance of sorts in two issues of the New Yorker recently. The June 25, 2007 issue includes a poem by Lawrence Raab entitled “Hawthorne on His Way Home,” and the January 14, 2008 issue includes a short story by E. L. Doctorow entitled “Wakefield” which is a contemporary version of Hawthorne’s story by the same name.
