From the Editor’s Gable

The essays in the Spring 2022 issue of the Nathaniel Hawthorne Review cover a range of topics from Hawthorne and Christianity to Hawthorne’s view of the super/natural and his understanding of Native American culture; and from Hawthorne and nineteenth-century news/propaganda to a consideration of Hawthorne inflected through scientific, twenty-first-century understandings of digital knowledge.The two lead essays suggest a welcome resurgence of interest in The House of the Seven Gables. In the first essay, “Christian Moralism in The House of the Seven Gables,” Jonathan Cook presents a case for Hawthorne’s views of secularized moralistic forms in mid-nineteenth-century Protestantism through an analysis of the Pyncheon and Maule families amidst the backdrop of their feuding history in the novel. Cook brings his background in biblical history to bear on a religious dimension under-remarked since the work of Hyatt Waggoner.1 In fact, the Fall 2022 issue of the Nathaniel Hawthorne Review, on Hawthorne and religion, will be guest-edited by Cook. In the second essay of this collection, “‘A kind of privilege to haunt’: Settler-Structures, Land-Based Knowledge, and the Agency of the (Super)Natural in The House of the Seven Gables,” CJ Scruton represents another realm of Hawthorne, the supernatural, in Hawthorne’s famous second novel, a topic that is the recent focus of critical exploration.2 Scruton’s approach is unique in their consideration of the nexus between the natural and supernatural realms and the concomitant anxieties revolving around the early New England settlers’ conflict with natural spaces and Native American presence. Together with CJ Scruton, I am planning a special issue of NHR on Hawthorne, nature/Hawthorne, and the environment for our Spring 2023 issue. Please note the details for “Call for Papers” for Spring 2023 is at the end of this issue.The third essay in this issue is quite timely, as it explores the idea of fake news and conspiracy theory so prevalent today. In “‘A respectable narrative’: The Viral Load in ‘Mr. Higginbotham’s Catastrophe,’” Hannah Murray makes the case that Dominicus Pike, the main character of the story, attempting to increase his importance in terms of social mobility and cultural capital, comes up with stories (which move from gossip, to oral tales, to print media). However, his comeuppance is that his new and fraudulent sense of identity is his unmaking. The final two essays in this issue speak to a positive use of technology—in the realm of computers, as a source for positive communication. Gale Temple, in “The Hermeneutics of Implication and Inference: Actor-Network Theory, The Scarlet Letter, and the Hawthorne Digital Archive,” explores how the Hawthornean model for community-making offers us a creative way of connecting literary interpretation with digital resources. In the final essay of this issue, “A Meaning Apart from Its Indistinguishable Words,” Erik Fredner analyzes how Hawthorne is different from his fellow writers and how his ambivalence can be detected through quantitative methods; Fredner’s analysis culminates in showing the satirical elements of “The Procession of Life.”The Spring 2022 issue ends again this year with a carefully wrought annual bibliography written by my former graduate student Alexis Grainger, who has an eye for detail and precision. Finally, we conclude the issue with, unfortunately, news again of the death of another important scholar, Joel Myerson, who has brought scholars many ideas and materials (and a sense of drama) to help us understand the American Renaissance better.

Editor’s Note

Editor’s Note Wendy Pfeffer, Editor-in-Chief Tenso’s recent history has been remarkably filled with optimism, given its resources and audience. I want to thank the authors of articles, op-eds, reviews, necrologies, and our regular contributors who do the research for our annual bibliographies and discography, and our loyal readers, whether they choose hard copy or the e-version available through a library subscription to ProjectMuse. The journal receives submissions from all over the world; these are carefully vetted, and, whether accepted or not, these are returned to authors with useful blind criticism, as is our practice. Not all journals follow that important practice. This issue of Tenso carries an underlying theme of translation, seen in various iterations: the passage of a genre from Occitan to Italian discussed by Kevin Keane; the movement of scholarship in La Curne de Sainte Palaye’s circle as studied by Laure-Anne Caraty; James Thomas’s op-ed describing his publication of Occitan materials in English; the detailed effort by Walter Meliga to carry older scholarship forward to younger scholars in a self-translated essay whose English retains its Italian flavor (the editorial team chose to use a very light hand in its emendations). The Editor’s Note for Tenso 36 evoked some of the realities of COVID and its resultant pandemic; sadly, one year later, things are only slightly improved — many scholars are still not able to access primary or secondary sources. COVID made it into Catherine Parayre’s bibliography this year (see her item 317). Some libraries are still closed; travel is still complicated, especially international travel. It’s a challenging time to be a scholar and researcher, a time when I can hope Tenso offers comfort and scholarship to help us continue our investigations of Occitan language, literature, and culture. One victim of COVID was the in-person triennial gathering of the Association internationale d’études occitanes, originally scheduled for Coni, Italy in July 2020. Though I had my doubts about what the conference organizers had planned to replace the [End Page iv] 2020 meeting, I was pleasantly surprised by what they pulled off — a week of virtual activities during July 2021, specifically the plenary lectures and round tables on important topics for our discipline. A volume of acts is promised, which will allow scholars who could not actively participate in the virtual event still to see their research published. As compromises go, it has been a good one. The Société Guilhem IX organized a small conference in honor of the editor-in-chief of Tenso, celebrating her years of service to our discipline. Hosted by Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, NY, the hybrid gathering allowed Occitan scholars in the US, the UK, and Europe to meet, exchange ideas, and renew friendships. It was a heady moment for the honoree. If the only compromise Occitan scholars have to make is to accept a virtual appearance in lieu of being “présentiel,” a French word I am convinced came into currency with the pandemic,1 we must not be doing too badly. Footnotes 1. I cannot find it online in the TLFi (<https://www.cnrtl.fr/definition/presentiel>); that dictionary reports that it stopped updates in 1994, roughly when “présentiel” began to come into usage. The word appears in Wiktionnaire.org, with a citation from 1994 and then several from 2020–2021, <https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/présentiel>.

Editor's Note

Editor's Note Wendy Pfeffer This volume of Tenso was produced in 2020, a year that, as I draft these words, augurs to be as weighty as 1347 and 1348 were for the medieval world. The earlier years saw the ravages in Western Europe of Yersinia pestis, the bacterium that causes bubonic and pneumonic plague; 2020 has become the year of SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2), the name of the virus that has caused the pandemic disease identified as COVID-19. Tenso has represented and served as a voice for the community of Occitan scholars since its first issue in 1986–1987. How COVID-19 may change that world is hard to know as I write. What is clear is that the emergency has severely limited scholarly access to libraries, though it has expanded, at least temporarily, scholarly access to online materials, such as those posted by the HathiTrust Digital Library, normally accessible only via partner institutions. This volume serves as a special issue, edited by Daniel O'Sullivan, who organized two panels at the Medieval Congress in Kalamazoo, Michigan, in 2019—oh, the days when scholars could meet in person—on the theme of Thibaut de Champagne and the troubadours. Dan's introduction sets that stage separately. This issue also includes two brief pieces relating to scholar Jean-Claude Dinguirard (1940–1983), who deserves more recognition than he may have received during his too-short lifetime. His exceptional work in Occitan ranged from linguistic studies of Gascon to work on proverbs and medieval literature, and included translations into Occitan. His son has created a web site, described here, which will be of great interest to Occitan scholars, as the site makes available the works of the universitari tolosenc. In parallel, Pierre Escudé describes efforts to make Dinguirard's works available again in print. The genre of the Op-Ed is continued in Tenso 36, with a different team of scholars offering their perspectives on directions for Occitan studies. Bill Burgwinkle and Hervé Lieutard each [End Page iv] offer insights on new areas worthy of exploration by current and future Occitanists. Some members of the Tenso bibliographic team have expressed regret that their work is less complete than they might have wished, because of the pandemic. No apologies are accepted. The Web is an incredible tool, even as hard copies have proven harder to obtain in 2020 (let us now praise the work of Interlibrary Loan Librarians throughout the world). I propose a round of applause for our bibliographers and discographer for their continued and unstinting efforts to let the scholarly community know what is being published, in print and online, relating to our fields of studies. Though Tenso's bibliographers may not have been able to work in 2020 as they usually have, they offer here their always excellent research. As for works omitted this year, they will be incorporated into annual bibliographies in years to come, as has always been the case. One last observation: this volume includes two necrologies, one for Xavier Ravier, who had two passions, linguistics (principally Occitan dialectology and onomastics) and verse, which he knew as a critic and as a poet. Samuel Rosenberg's fame may be greater in the community of Old French scholars than among Occitanists, despite his significant work in our discipline. For me, Sam was a mentor and a friend. On his retirement, freed from the constraints of teaching and committee work, he engaged ever more actively in scholarship and translation, serving as a model for us all to his last days. COVID-19 has forced many of us into some form of "retirement" or confinement. Sam's career demonstrates that while such a retreat brings deprivations, it can also be filled with opportunities.
