Description

Embark on a 28-page journey with this short biography of Nathaniel Hawthorne. It begins with an adolescent Hawthorne living in Salem and trying to grapple with the infamous legacy his ancestors had shaped for the city. You’ll follow his friendships with prominent 19th century figures like Ralph Waldo Emmerson, Herman Melville, Louisa May Alcott, and even president Franklin Pierce, and understand how these factors provided inspiration for his timeless novels The Scarlet Letter and The House of the Seven Gables. 

Written and signed by The House of the Seven Gables’ head researcher, David Moffat, this book provides a quick, yet highly informative account of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s life and accomplishments.
