Nathaniel Hawthorne
Nathaniel Hawthorne was born on July 4, 1804, in Salem, Massachusetts, the son and grandson of proud New England seafarers. He lived in genteel poverty with his widowed mother and two young sisters in a house filled with Puritan ideals and family pride in a prosperous past. His boyhood was, in most respects, pleasant and normal. In 1825 he was graduated from Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Maine, and he returned to Salem determined to become a writer of short stories. For the next twelve years he was plagued with unhappiness and self-doubts as he struggled to master his craft. He finally secured some small measure of success with the publication of his
Twice-Told Tales (1837). His marriage to Sophia Peabody in 1842 was a happy one.
The Scarlet Letter (1850), which brought him immediate recognition, was followed by
The House of the Seven Gables (1851). After serving four years as the American Consul in Liverpool, England, he traveled in Italy; he returned home to Massachusetts in 1860. Depressed, weary of writing, and failing in health, he died on May 19, 1864, at Plymouth, New Hampshire.
It is a beautiful story about the young artist Owen Warland who dedicates his life to the search of beauty. Even as a child, Owen Warland enjoys carving intricate figures of birds and flowers and shows mechanical ability. Hence, he is apprenticed to Peter Hovenden, a master watchmaker, with whom, his relatives hope, he will be able to make practical use of his delicate talents. However, Peter is not impressed with Owen's characters. Nevertheless, He recognizes his considerable talents but senses that Owen does not care to apply them in a conventional way. Can Owen Warland create Beauty at long last or not? “The Artist of the Beautiful” shows a good example of the men's faith in the artistic principle and also the penetrating understanding of the struggles that the artist must endure.
