Produktbeschreibung
Nathaniel Hawthorne's 'The Dolliver Romance' is a complex and thought-provoking exploration of love, destiny, and the power of the human spirit. Set in 19th century Boston, the novel delves into the inner workings of the human heart and mind, revealing Hawthorne's mastery of psychological depth and moral complexity. The narrative style is rich in symbolism and allegory, drawing readers into a world where reality and fantasy intertwine seamlessly. Hawthorne's prose is both lyrical and introspective, elevating the novel to a work of profound literary significance within the American Romantic tradition. Nathaniel Hawthorne, known for his exploration of Puritanism and moral dilemmas in his other works such as 'The Scarlet Letter', wrote 'The Dolliver Romance' as a departure from his more serious themes, allowing for a deeper exploration of the complexities of human emotion and relationships. His own experiences and observations of society undoubtedly influenced his creation of the vivid and multi-dimensional characters in the novel. I highly recommend 'The Dolliver Romance' to readers interested in delving into the inner depths of human consciousness and exploring the intricacies of love and fate. Hawthorne's masterful storytelling and profound insights make this novel a timeless and compelling read.
Autorenporträt
Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804 - 1864) was an American novelist, dark romantic and short story writer. He was born in 1804 in Salem, Massachusetts to Nathaniel Hathorne and the former Elizabeth Clarke Manning. His ancestors include John Hathorne, the only judge involved in the Salem witch trials who never repented of his actions. He entered Bowdoin College in 1821, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in 1824 and graduated in 1825. He published his first work in 1828, the novel Fanshawe; he later tried to suppress it, feeling that it was not equal to the standard of his later work. He published several short stories in periodicals, which he collected in 1837 as Twice-Told Tales. The next year, he became engaged to Sophia Peabody. He worked at the Boston Custom House and joined Brook Farm, a transcendentalist community, before marrying Peabody in 1842. The Scarlet Letter was published in 1850, followed by a succession of other novels. A political appointment as consul took Hawthorne and family to Europe before their return to Concord in 1860. Hawthorne died on May 19, 1864, and was survived by his wife and their three children. Much of Hawthorne's writing centers on New England, many works featuring moral metaphors with an anti-Puritan inspiration. His fiction works are considered part of the Romantic movement and, more specifically, dark romanticism. His themes often center on the inherent evil and sin of humanity and his works often have moral messages and deep psychological complexity. His published works include novels, short stories and a biography of his college friend Franklin Pierce, the 14th President of the United States.
