About the author
Born in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1804, he grew up in the shadow of New England’s colonial past, a history that deeply shaped his fiction. After graduating from Bowdoin College in 1825, he spent years writing stories and sketches before gaining wider recognition.
He became one of the central figures of 19th-century American literature through works including Twice-Told Tales, The Scarlet Letter, The House of the Seven Gables, and The Blithedale Romance. His writing often returns to sin, conscience, isolation, and the way the past can linger over everyday life.
Hawthorne was also connected to many of the leading writers and thinkers of his time, including Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Herman Melville. He died in 1864, but his blend of historical setting, symbolism, and moral complexity has kept his work widely read ever since.
