Abstract
Nathaniel Hawthorne ~rew extensively on the poetry of John Milton for his fiction. Hawthorne praised Milton in his works and often referred to his poems. Many of Hawthorne's garden scenes have their symbolic roots in the Miltonic Eden, and his Blithedale Romance displays a great familiarity with Milton's! Mask Presented at Ludlow Castle (Comus). Hawthorne's late romance, The Marble Faun, employs the Miltonic theme of man's fall from grace and often parallels the structure of Paradise Lost.
