Autorenporträt
Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864) was a distinguished American novelist and short story writer, closely associated with the dark romanticism movement. He was known for his exploration of themes such as guilt, sin, and morality, deeply rooted within the Puritan heritage. Born in Salem, Massachusetts, Hawthorne was keenly aware of his ancestors' Puritan legacy, which informed his most famous work, 'The Scarlet Letter' (1850). His oeuvre offers a profound insight into the complexities of the human heart and the moral struggles of his characters. Hawthorne's literary style is often characterized by the use of allegory and symbolism. His fascination with historical settings is exemplified by another notable work, 'The House of the Seven Gables' (1851), which presents a more nuanced look at the legacies of the past and its impact on the present. Delving into his fascination with England, 'Passages from the English Notebooks, Complete' offers glimpses into Hawthorne's reflective journey and personal musings during his time abroad, underlining his perceptive observations and the interplay between the author's experiences and his fiction. A foremost figure in the development of American literature, Hawthorne's evocative and psychological approach continues to resonate with readers and scholars alike.
