  Analyzes the significance of sculpture in Hawthorne's fiction through the recurring motif of the fragment in its double guise as ruin and project. This book shows how the tension between the formed and unformed enabled Hawthorne to interrogate the origins and distinctive possibilities of art in America in relation to established European models.
