Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864) was one of the central figures in American literature. The Scarlet Letter, his most famous novel, tells the story of Hester Prynne in Puritan Massachusetts. The House of the Seven Gables, The Blithedale Romance, and The Marble Faun followed, each dealing with the weight of the past on the present.
Hawthorne also wrote extensively in short fiction. “Young Goodman Brown,” “The Minister’s Black Veil,” and “Rappaccini’s Daughter” are among the most anthologized stories in American literature. His children’s books, including A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys and Tanglewood Tales, retold Greek myths for young readers.
