But the group is a powerful mix of competing ambitions and its idealism finds little satisfaction in farmwork. Instead, of changing the world, the members of the Blithedale community individually pursue egotistical paths that ultimately lead to tragedy. Hawthorne's tale both mourns and satirizes a rural idyll not unlike that of nineteenth-century America at large.   Published 20090928 by Oxford University, Paperback, 320 Pages, ISBN: 9780199554867, ISBN-10: 0199554862, List Price $9.95.
