Nathaniel Hawthorne: A Biography
Nathaniel Hawthorne is best known for his two most widely read novels—The Scarlet Letter and The House of the Seven Gables. But he also wrote many highly valued short stories as well as a number of children's books. Skilled biographer Milton Meltzer places Hawthorne's work in the context of his life—which was not an easy one. Few American writers coasted into fame and fortune in that time and Hawthorne was no exception. His story is one of the constant battle between his literary aspirations and life's necessities.
