Autorenporträt
Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864) was an eminent American novelist and short story writer, known for his dark romanticism, moral complexity, and psychological depth. Born in Salem, Massachusetts, Hawthorne was acutely aware of his Puritan ancestors and the Salem witch trials, which influenced the themes of sin, guilt, and retribution in his work. He graduated from Bowdoin College in 1825 and later sought solitude in Salem, which further shaped his brooding literary style. His masterpiece, 'The Scarlet Letter' (1850), reflects his fascination with colonial New England and moral symbolism, presenting a stark look at the consequences of adultery and social ostracism. Hawthorne's short story collection, referenced here, 'Little Daffydowndilly (From: "The Snow Image and Other Twice-Told Tales")' exemplifies his talent for allegory and narrative concision. His writing is characterized by its use of allegory and symbolism, with a strong sense of history and moral introspection. Hawthorne's legacy endures in his explorations of the human heart and the darker corners of the American experience, influencing subsequent generations of writers.
