Nathaniel Hawthorne
Nathaniel Hawthorne's ancestors in Salem, Massachusetts, were Puritans named Hathorne. He added a w to his name when he began writing.
By 1832, Nathaniel Hawthorne had published several notable short stories as he developed his voice and style. These works include:
- "The Hollow of the Three Hills"1
- "An Old Womanâs Tale"1
- "My Kinsman, Major Molineux"1
- "Roger Malvinâs Burial"1
While Hawthorne also published the novel Fanshawe shortly after graduating from college, he later attempted to destroy all copies of it, considering the work unworthy of his standards.1
