Excerpts:
"I am afraid this ghost story will bear a very faded aspect when transferred to paper. Whatever effect it had on you, or whatever charm it retains in your memory, is, perhaps, to be attributed to the favorable circumstances under which it was originally told." (The Ghost of Doctor Harris)
American novelist and short story writer Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864) published his first work, a novel titled Fanshawe, in 1828; he later tried to suppress it, feeling it was not equal to the standard of his later work. He published several short stories in various periodicals, which he collected in 1837 as Twice-Told Tales. Much of Hawthorne's writing centres on New England, many works featuring moral allegories with a Puritan inspiration. His fiction works are considered to be part of the Romantic movement and, more specifically, Dark romanticism. His themes often centre on the inherent evil and sin of humanity, and his works often have moral messages and deep psychological complexity.

Über Nathaniel Hawthorne

Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864) wurde als Spross einer alten puritanischen Familie in Salem, Massachusetts geboren. Sein Vater starb, als er vier Jahre alt war. Nach seinem Studium arbeitete er zunächst als Journalist, später im Zollamt von Boston. Seinen ersten Roman veröffentlichte er 1828. 1841 schloss er sich den Transzendentalisten an, einer Gruppierung um Henry D. Thoreau und Ralph Waldo Emerson, die eine naturverbundene, antimaterialistische Gesllschaftsordnung anstrebte. Er lebte vorübergehend in der sozialutopischen Brook-Farm-Kommune, beendete das Experiment jedoch nach einem halben Jahr. 1853 wurde er amerikanischer Konsul in Liverpool und lebte bis 1860 mit seiner Familie in Europa.
