by

Nathaniel HawthorneRappaccini's Daughter (1844)
A novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne

 
Part fairy tale, part Gothic horror story, Hawthorne's Rappaccini's Daughter is an inspired fiction of creation and control, with many biblical and Miltonic echoes. Taking up his place at the University of Padua, the youthful Giovanni Guasconti is enchanted to discover a nearby garden of the most exquisite beauty. In it abides a young woman, perhaps the most beautiful Giovanni has ever seen. Yet as he looks out from an upstairs window, he soon learns that, far from stemming from the gentle hand of Mother Nature, the garden - and the matchless Beatrice - are in fact the result of a monstrous abomination of creativity.
