[edit] Genre

Although the author described the book as "a romance", this rather indicates that it has fantastical elements than that it is a "romance novel" in the modern sense. I have ascribed it the genre "Gothic fiction" as it is claimed as a notable example in that article, but just "novel" may be preferable. Robina Fox (talk) 16:59, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I guess "Gothic fiction" is OK. I think it's really sui generis. I've never read anything else remotely like Chapter XVIII, "Governor Pyncheon," the one where Hawthorne goes on for page after page gloating over Pyncheon's death. Dpbsmith (talk) 02:21, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
