Hawthorne, Nathaniel, Wineapple, Brenda

SUMMARY

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 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. Brenda Wineapple is the author of Sister Brother: Gertrude and Leo Stein and Genet: A Biography of Janet Flanner. Currently working on a biography of Nathaniel Hawthorne (Knopf), she is Washington Irving Professor of Modern Literary and Historical Studies at Union College.Hawthorne, Nathaniel is the author of 'House of the Seven Gables A Romance', published 2001 under ISBN 9780451527912 and ISBN 0451527917.
