Nathaniel Hawthorne Audiobooks

About the author

Born in Salem, Massachusetts, on July 4, 1804, Nathaniel Hawthorne became one of the central voices of 19th-century American literature. Reliable reference sources describe him as a novelist and short-story writer whose work is especially known for symbolism, allegory, and a deep interest in history, morality, and religion.

Hawthorne studied at Bowdoin College and later built his career through tales and sketches before reaching a wide audience with The Scarlet Letter in 1850. He followed it with other major works including The House of the Seven Gables. His writing often returned to colonial New England and the burden of sin, shame, and hidden guilt, themes that helped give his fiction its dark, memorable power.

He also spent time working at the Salem Custom House, an experience that later fed directly into The Scarlet Letter. Hawthorne died on May 19, 1864, but his fiction remains a cornerstone of American literature and an easy starting point for readers who enjoy psychological depth, historical atmosphere, and a touch of the unsettling.
