Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Genius of Nathaniel Hawthorne The simple events of Nathaniel Hawthorne's life have long been before the public. From 1835 onward they may easily be traced in the various Note-books, which have been edited from his diary, and previous to that time we are indebted for them chiefly to the recollections of his two faithful friends, Horatio Bridge and Elizabeth Peabody. These were first systematised and published by George P. Lathrop in 1872, but a more complete and authoritative biography was issued by Julian Hawthorne twelve years later, in which, however, the writer has modestly refrained from expressing an opinion as to the quality of his father's genius, or from attempting any critical examination of his father's literary work. It is in order to supply in some measure this deficiency, that the present volume has been written. At the same time, I trust to have given credit where it was due to my predecessors, in the good work of making known the true character of so rare a genius and so exceptional a personality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Main-Street IT was one of the early literary projects of Nathaniel Hawthorne to put life into the dead body of New England historical annals. How lifeless those annals were we may discover by hunting them up on the dust-covered shelves of antiquarian libraries; and the enterprise of endowing them with bloom and fragrance would seem as hopeless an one as could be proposed to a literary man. But Hawthorne possessed creative genius, and that made all the difference. He himself was able to see through the veil of the printed page of the old annalist, and to behold rising before his imaginative vision, the world and the personages that had been, warm with life and glowing With color and passion. This Vision he aimed to communicate, by the art of lucid and vivid portrayal and suggestion, in Which he has had no superior, to his fellow citizens; by this beneficent spell he wrought upon them to make the acquaintance of their own past. It was in work of this kind, having this tendency, that the foundation of his genius first declared itself; and it is not unlikely that, for several years, Hawthorne cher.

This book was released on 2017-06-15 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1879, The Genius of Nathaniel Hawthorne is one of the best early summaries of Hawthorne's work. It is a scholarly work that appeared in The North American Review, Volume 129. Nathaniel Hawthorne (July 4, 1804 - May 19, 1864) was an American novelist, Dark Romantic, and short story writer. He was born in 1804 in Salem, Massachusetts, to Nathaniel Hathorne and the former Elizabeth Clarke Manning. His ancestors include John Hathorne, the only judge involved in the Salem witch trials who never repented of his actions. Nathaniel later added a "w" to make his name "Hawthorne" in order to hide this relation. He entered Bowdoin College in 1821, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in 1824, and graduated in 1825. Hawthorne published his first work, a novel titled Fanshawe, in 1828; he later tried to suppress it, feeling it was not equal to the standard of his later work. He published several short stories in periodicals, which he collected in 1837 as Twice-Told Tales. The next year, he became engaged to Sophia Peabody. He worked at the Boston Custom House and joined Brook Farm, a transcendentalist community, before marrying Peabody in 1842. The couple moved to The Old Manse in Concord, Massachusetts, later moving to Salem, the Berkshires, then to The Wayside in Concord. The Scarlet Letter was published in 1850, followed by a succession of other novels. A political appointment as consul took Hawthorne and family to Europe before their return to Concord in 1860. Hawthorne died on May 19, 1864, and was survived by his wife and their three children. -Wikipedia

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Analytical Index to the Works of Nathaniel Hawthorne: With a Sketch of His Life Possibly this idle life had as much to do in ripening the genius of llawthorne as any of his studies, if his discursive, desultory reading may be called study. Among his early favorites in books were Bunyan, Spenser, Shakespeare, Sir Philip Sydney, Milton, Thomson, and Gray; and there are traces of famil iarity with some of them in his books, the allusions to Bunyan being perhaps more frequent than those to any other author. The Celestial Railroad is a satire founded on The Pilgrim's Progress, and his tendency to allegory is due, no doubt, to his early love for Spenser and Bunyan. Judging from Fanshawe.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Nathaniel Hawthorne, Vol. 14 of 15 This biography will not be found to err on the side of reticence.

This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hawthorne (English Men of Letters Series) by Henry James It will be necessary, for several reasons, to give this short sketch the form rather of a critical essay than of a biography. The data for a life of Nathaniel Hawthorne are the reverse of copious, and even if they were abundant they would serve but in a limited measure the purpose of the biographer. Hawthorne's career was probably as tranquil and uneventful a one as ever fell to the lot of a man of letters; it was almost strikingly deficient in incident, in what may be called the dramatic quality. Few men of equal genius and of equal eminence can have led on the whole a simpler life. His six volumes of Note-Books illustrate this simplicity; they are a sort of monument to an unagitated fortune. Hawthorne's career had few vicissitudes or variations; it was passed for the most part in a small and homogeneous society, in a provincial, rural community; it had few perceptible points of contact with what is called the world, with public events, with the manners of his time, even with the life of his neighbours. Its literary incidents are not numerous. He produced, in quantity, but little. His works consist of four novels and the fragment of another, five volumes of short tales, a collection of sketches, and a couple of story-books for children. And yet some account of the man and the writer is well worth giving. Whatever may have been Hawthorne's private lot, he has the importance of being the most beautiful and most eminent representative of a literature. The importance of the literature may be questioned, but at any rate, in the field of letters, Hawthorne is the most valuable example of the American genius. That genius has not, as a whole, been literary; but Hawthorne was on his limited scale a master of expression.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nathaniel Hawthorne: Man and Writer My next greatest debt is to Professor Randall Stewart, of Vanderbilt University, whose authority as a Hawthorne scholar is unquestioned. Not only did Professor Stewart give me per mission to quote from his editions of Hawthorne's English and American Notebooks, but he read my entire manuscript and gave me much good advice and encouragement. To him, also, I am very grateful, and I must add that he is in no sense te sponsible for anything I have written. Miss Margaret M. Lothrop, present owner and inhabitant of The Wayside, at Concord, Massachusetts, who has made a visit to Hawthorne's old home one of the high spots of their trip to the Boston area for so many Americans, has generously allowed me to use her Hawthorne notes. Mrs. Margaret Parsons, literary editor of the Worcester (mass) Telegram, has kindly permitted me to quote from a letter of Louisa May Alcott owned by her.

Download or read book The Scarlet Letter written by Nathaniel Hawthorne and published by Martino Fine Books. This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2009 reprint of 1850 First Edition. The Scarlet Letter (1850) is Nathaniel Hawthorne's magnum opus. Set in 17th-century Puritan Boston, it tells the story of Hester Prynne, who gives birth after committing adultery and struggles to create a new life of repentance and dignity. Throughout the novel, Hawthorne explores themes of legalism, sin, and guilt. The book's immediate and lasting success are due to the way it addresses spiritual and moral issues from a uniquely American standpoint. In 1850, adultery was an extremely risqu subject, but because Hawthorne had the support of the New England literary establishment, it passed easily into the realm of appropriate reading. It has been said that this work represents the height of Hawthorne's literary genius. Dense with terse descriptions, it remains relevant for its philosophical and psychological depth, and continues to be read as a classic tale on a universal theme.
