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.

Samenvatting

Nathaniel Hawthorne's 'Sketches and Studies' is a collection of short stories and essays that showcase the author's keen observational skills of human nature and societal norms. Written in Hawthorne's signature style of dark romanticism, the book explores themes of guilt, sin, and the complexities of the human psyche. Set in a puritanical New England landscape, Hawthorne weaves together intricate narratives that delve into the moral dilemmas faced by his characters, leaving readers pondering the consequences of their own actions. 'Sketches and Studies' serves as a reflection of Hawthorne's fascination with the darker aspects of human existence, making it a captivating read for those interested in exploring the complexities of the human soul. Nathaniel Hawthorne's background as a descendant of puritan settlers and his own struggles with guilt and redemption likely influenced the themes present in 'Sketches and Studies'. His ability to evoke emotions and provoke thought through his writing solidifies his place as one of the great American writers of the 19th century. I highly recommend 'Sketches and Studies' to readers who appreciate thought-provoking literature that delves into the depths of the human experience.
