1882. The Riverside Literature Series. Edited for study. With an
introductory note by George Parsons Lathrop. Hawthorne, who, like
Edgar Allan Poe, took a dark view of human nature, was a central
figure in the American Renaissance. His best-known works include
The Scarlet Letter and The House of the Seven Gables. A collection
of Hawthorne's stories including: The Gray Champion, The May-pole
of Merry Mount, The Gentle Boy, and Endicott and the Red Cross
reflect Hawthorne's moral insight and his lifelong interest in the
history of Puritan New England. Among other tales are the
allegorical The Ambitious Guest; The Minister's Black Veil and
Wakefield, psychological explorations of sin and guilt; Howe's
Masquerade, a ghostly legend set in Boston just prior to the
American Revolution; and Dr. Heidegger's Experiment, an allegorical
search for the Fountain of Youth. See other titles by this author
available from Kessinger Publishing.
