Autorenporträt
Rose Hawthorne Lathrop, also known as Mother Alphonsa, was an American writer and religious leader, born on May 20, 1851, to the illustrious novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne and his wife, Sophia Peabody Hawthorne. Raised in a milieu abundant with intellectual and artistic stimulus, Rose inherited a rich literary legacy that would later resonate in her own writings. Following her marriage to author George Parsons Lathrop and the tragic death of their only child, Rose's life took a profound spiritual turn. This transformation ultimately led her to profess vows as a Dominican nun, dedicating her life to the care of cancer patients, and she became the foundress of the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne. Her literary contributions, while less prolific than her father's, nonetheless provide a unique window into the Hawthorne family's private world. In 'Memories of Hawthorne' (1897), Rose offers a poignant portrayal of her father, blending personal insights with a daughter's devotion. Her writing, reflective of the 19th-century American literary style, incorporates a blend of natural description, emotional introspection, and moral questing characteristic of the period. Rose Hawthorne Lathrop's life and work encapsulate a distinctive fusion of literary heritage and compassionate action, leaving an endurable imprint on both American letters and humanitarian endeavors.
