Hawthorne, Nathaniel Annotated Bibliography & Selected Collectible Books



Nathaniel Hawthorne was born in the early 1800s to a family plagued by their involvement in the Salem witch trials. Nathaniel's ancestor, John Hathorne was a Salem Judge who refused to admit fault. In order to hide from this shame, Nathaniel added the "W" to his surname. Hawthorne's work is considered part of the Romantic Movement(specifically dark romanticism) with continued themes that focus on the evil and sin of humanity. His works often involve moral messages to spark psychological foresight in its readers. Nathaniel published his first work, Fanshawe, in 1828. In 1837, he set out to build a collection of his published short stories, eventually combined into Twice-Told Tales.
