About the Author

Nathaniel Hawthorne was born in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1804 and graduated from Bowdoin College in 1825. He briefly engaged with the transcendental community at Brook Farm, which inspired his satirical novel The Blithedale Romance. A longtime resident of Concord, Massachusetts, he died while on a tour of the White Mountains in New Hampshire in 1864.
