Who was Nathaniel Hawthorne?
Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804–1864) descended from a judge of the Salem witch trials, an inheritance of guilt that shadows nearly everything he wrote. The Scarlet Letter made him the first American novelist of moral interiority, examining sin and secrecy in a Puritan world he knew from the inside.
