Hawthorne Nathaniel: 696 books

THE first three numbers in this collection are tales of the White Hills in New Hampshire. The passages from Sketches from Memory show that Hawthorne had visited the mountains in one of his occasional rambles from home, but there are no entries in his Note Books which give accounts of such a visit. There...

Hawthorne’s son Julian edited and published his father’s last, unfinished novel—“undress rehearsals”—in 1882. A story involving the narrator, an archetypal mad scientist, a lovely young woman, and a sexy maid creates a real science-fiction type romance. A New England setting and a Gothic theme give the novel a feeling of completeness, despite its lack of a true end.

Published posthumously in 1872, this novel was very much a work-in-progress at the time of Hawthorne's death.  Nevertheless, it is of interest for its dramatic qualities—featuring an attempt to achieve immortality through science—and for its tragic story of greed and love.

Hawthorne addressed the murder of many innocents in the Witch Hunts.

In 1828, three years after graduating from Bowdoin College, Hawthorne published his first romance, "Fanshawe." It was issued at Boston by Marsh and Capen, but made little or no impression on the public. The motto on the title–page of the original was from Southey: "Wilt thou go on with me?

Published in 1846, this short-story collection contains some of Hawthorne's darkest allegories.  Herman Melville, reviewing the collection, wrote, "You may be witched by his sunlight . . . but there is the blackness of darkness beyond; and even his bright gildings but fringe and play upon the edges of thunder-clouds."
