Ferraro returns to Hawthorne's closet of secreted sin to reveal \u003cem\u003eThe Scarlet Letter\u003c\/em\u003e as a deviously psychological turn on the ancient Meditererranean Catholic folk tales of female wanderlust, cuckolding priests, and demonic revenge. This lights the way to explore what Ferraro calls \"the Protestant temptation to Marian Catholicism\" in seven modern American masterworks, including Chopin's \u003cem\u003eThe Awakening\u003c\/em\u003e, Fitzgerald's \u003cem\u003eThe Great Gatsby\u003c\/em\u003e, Cather's \u003cem\u003eThe Professor's House\u003c\/em\u003e, and Hemingway's \u003cem\u003eThe Sun Also Rises\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eTransgression and Redemption in American Fiction\u003c\/em\u003e explores stories of forbidden passion and sacrificial violence, with ultra-radiant women (and sometimes men) at their focus. It examines how these novels speak to readers across religious and social spectrums, generating an inclusive mode of address and near-universal relevance. Ferraro breaks the codes of contemporary criticism in his thematic focus and critical style, going beyond Protestantism and even Judeo-Christian Orthodoxy itself. \u003cem\u003eTransgression and Redemption in American Fiction \u003c\/em\u003e encourages the attentive reader to think about the American imagination, the myriad arts of writing about the passion plays of love, and even our canonical structures for reading and thinking about literature in new ways.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThomas J.
