Meet the Author

Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864) was an American novelist and short-story writer whose works were notable for their strong moral focus, hatred of hypocrisy, and a use of symbolism so lush and Romantic as to almost constitute in itself a counter-argument to any morality but art for art's sake.

    Worth Reading Twice

    Twice-Told Tales / 294-0-012-71015-4

    I like Hawthorne well enough as a writer, and I love Hawthorne compared to his contemporaries, and this collection is a good example of his evolution as a writer. There are a lot of classics here, including "The Minister's Black Veil" and "Lady Eleanor's Mantle".

    To read this and not be taken by it is a crime of the mind

    The tales awakened me from a sleep that had once been unchallenged by other books of my age or those of my fathers. To those who choose to read this book I can only say that with a need for life on parchment this will quickly if not instantly become one of if not entirely your favorite book.
