Books by Nathaniel Hawthorne
The Scarlet Letter
A woman branded with a scarlet letter for adultery becomes the moral center of a Puritan town, exposing how shame corrupts the judges more than the judged in this searing exploration of hypocrisy and redemption.
Mosses from an old manse
Hawthorne's interconnected tales burrow into American Puritan psychology, exposing the guilt, hypocrisy, and shadowed desires lurking beneath respectable surfaces with surgical precision and genuine unease.
Twice-told tales
A story collection issued in two volumes, 1837 and 1842, gathering tales that first appeared anonymously in magazines. The title comes from a line in Shakespeare's King John, and the stories draw on New England life and history.
The House of the Seven Gables
A Gothic novel from 1851 about a New England family and their ancestral home, said to be under a curse linked to land taken during the Salem Witch Trials. Hepzibah Pyncheon, her brother Clifford and young cousin Phoebe face family secrets and a mysterious death.
