Description

Darrel Abel was born in 1911 in Lost Nation, Iowa. As a young man, he took all the course offered through the University of Iowa's writing program, which would later be known as the Iowa Writers workshop. He earned his B.A. and M.A. degrees at Iowa, then went on to earn a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. During his long teaching career, Abel was a Fulbright professor at Freilburg University for a year and taught 30 years at Purdue University. He edited American Literature: Critical Theory in the American Renaissance. He is the author of about fifty journal articles - mostly on Hawthorne, Poe, Melville, and Frost - as well as numerous reviews.

. . . an effectively organized and gracefullywritten book . . . . Unencumbered by pretense or jargon, The Moral Picturesque can serve as a useful introduction toHawthorne's theory of romance and its application in the dramatic action of hisworks. Recommended for undergraduate, graduate, and public libraries."-Choice
