THE HOUSE OF THE SEVEN GABLES (CHAP 8) THE PYNCHEON OF TO-DAY

THE HOUSE OF THE SEVEN GABLES (CHAP 8) THE PYNCHEON OF TO-DAY

We invite you back into the decaying world of The House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne for our newest installment, Chapter 8, “The Pyncheon of to-day.”  The episode focuses on the immediate, unsettling crisis caused by the arrival of the wealthy and ostensibly benevolent Judge Pyncheon.  A chilling transformation forces young Phœbe to confront the terrifying suspicion: that the ruthless qualities, the moral diseases, and the inveteracy of purpose that defined the ancient ancestor, Colonel Pyncheon, have indeed been handed down through the generations.  Tune in to discover whether Hepzibah can defend the house against the man who has been the horror of her life.
