American author Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote The House of the Seven Gables: A Romance, a Gothic romance, starting in the middle of 1850. Ticknor and Fields of Boston released it in April 1851. A New England family and their ancestral home are the subjects of the book. Hawthorne tackles themes of guilt, retaliation, and atonement throughout the book and imbues the narrative with allusions to the paranormal and witchcraft. The Turner-Ingersoll Mansion, a gabled home in Salem, Massachusetts, owned by Hawthorne's cousin Susanna Ingersoll, as well as Hawthorne's relatives who had participated in the Salem Witch Trials of 1692, served as inspiration for the setting of the book. The book was warmly appreciated when it was first published and afterward had a significant impact on H. P. Lovecraft's writing. The House of the Seven Gables has had numerous film and television adaptations. Although the narrative is set in the mid-19th century, there are flashbacks that take place in earlier decades that tell the story of the house's construction in the late 17th century. Free from the weight of the past, the protagonists leave the old house and begin a new life in the country.

Mosses from an Old Manse, collection of short stories by Nathaniel Hawthorne, published in two volumes in 1846. The 25 tales and sketches of this volume-written while Hawthorne lived at the Old Manse in Concord, Mass., the home of Ralph Waldo Emerson's ancestors-include some of the author's finest short works. Many of the Romantic themes found in Hawthorne's longer fiction are addressed in the stories-for example, the conflict between reason and emotion in the Gothic tales "Rappaccini's Daughter" and "The Birthmark" and between Puritan religion and the supernatural in "Young Goodman Brown." Also noteworthy are the title essay describing the parsonage and "Roger Malvin's Burial," a historical tale. The element of simple genius, the quality of imagination. That is the real charm of Hawthorne's writing-this purity and spontaneity and naturalness of fancy.

"No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself, and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true..." - Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter The Scarlet Letter is a historical fiction, first published in 1850 by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne. It is considered his ""masterwork"". Set in 17th-century Puritan Massachusetts Bay Colony, during the years 1642 to 1649, it tells the story of a "fallen" woman, her vengeful and incognito husband, and a charismatic young minister harbouring a terrible secret. The female protagonist, Hester Prynne, conceives a daughter through an affair and is publicly shamed for adultery. She wears the titular red "A" on her breast, marking her as an adulteress. In her arms she bears Pearl, the daughter born of sin. The book explores the theme of sin, repentance, dignity, honour and courage.

American author Nathaniel Hawthorne is arguably best known today for his contribution to the early 19th century romantic literary movement, of which "The Scarlet Letter", his critical portrayal of New England Puritanism stands in the highest regard. In addition to his contributions to this literary movement Hawthorne also wrote numerous short stories including classic retellings of Greek myths for children. Following his 1851 publication "A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys" in which he relates six such tales, Hawthorne wrote a sequel of six additional stories, "Tanglewood Tales", which first appeared in 1853. Here we find the tales of "The Minotaur", "The Pygmies", "The Dragon's Teeth", "Circe's Palace", "The Pomegranate-Seeds", and "The Golden Fleece". A classic collection of Greek myths, "Tanglewood Tales", along with "A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys", provides an excellent introduction to ancient mythology for younger audiences.

First Published in 1860, "The Marble Faun" is the last of the four major romances written by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne. Published shortly before the beginning of the American Civil War, it is a romantic and fantastical tale set in an imagined Italy and revolves around the love lives of the four main characters: Miriam, a beautiful and mysterious painter; Hilda, an innocent and morally upright copyist; Kenyon, a gifted sculptor; and Donatello, the distinguished Count of Monti Beni. Donatello is in love with Miriam, who is continuously pursued and threatened by a shadowy evil genius who wishes her harm. Miriam's strange and perhaps unseemly past is contrasted to the pure and honorable Hilda, who attracts the attention of Kenyon, a rationale and talented artist smart enough to see past Miriam's beauty to Hilda's good qualities. Like many of Hawthorne's works, central to "The Marble Faun" are the themes of guilt, the fall of mankind, and man's banishment from the Garden of Eden. Widely praised for its lovely descriptions and fascinating characters, it endures as one of the great writer's most enjoyable and emotional works. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Den unge Hester dømmes til at bære bogstavet A, men selvom hun bogstaveligt talt er mærket af sin synd, angrer hun tilsyneladende ikke, og skammens mærke vokser sig på forunderlig vis til et styrkende symbol på Hesters indentitet.
