Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864) Contributing Editor: Rita K. Gollin Classroom Issues and Strategies Some students find Hawthorne too gloomy, too dense, and too complex. And few understand Puritan beliefs about self, sin, and America's moral mission as they evolved into the antithetical beliefs of transcendentalism. Even fewer recognize how persistently Hawthorne involves the reader in his own efforts to probe such antitheses. To address these problems, try approaching Hawthorne as a riddler and wry joker who challenged all authority including his own. Students enjoy recognizing Hawthorne's self-mockery and his various forms of ironic self-presentation. Though self-mockery is most overt in Hawthorne's letters and prefaces (the introduction to "Rappaccini's Daughter," for example), students can quickly discern the skepticism underlying Hawthorne's uses of laughter, his assessments of America's Puritan past and quotidian present, and his anatomization of his major characters. Introduce recurrent patterns of character, theme, image, and so forth, then invite students to identify variations on those patterns within Hawthorne's works. Comment on Hawthorne's attempts to mediate between Puritan beliefs and Emerson's, then encourage students to locate how each of his fictions incorporates, accepts, or rejects particular beliefs. Alert them to Hawthorne's assumptions about what human wholeness and happiness requireincluding the interrelationship of the mind, heart, spirit, will, and imagination, and accommodation though not indulgence of bodily needs.

He wrote several successful short stories which were collected in Twice-Told Tales Insufficient earnings as a writer forced Hawthorne to take a job in the Salem Custom House. By 1842, he was able to earn enough to marry Sophia Peabody and move to Concord, which was then the center of the Transcendental movement. Hawthorne returned to Salem in 1845 and in 1850, his most famous novel, The Scarlet Letter was published. His next novel was

Nathaniel Hawthorne N ovelista estadounidense, cuyos trabajos muestran una profunda conciencia de los problemas éticos del pecado, el castigo y la expiación. Nació el 4 de julio de 1804, en Salem (Massachussets) en el seno de una familia puritana. Tras graduarse en el Bowdoin College en 1825, retornó a su ciudad natal y allí, en semirretiro, se dedicó a la literatura. Su obra, sin embargo, recibió muy poco reconocimiento por parte del público, por lo que intentó destruir toda las copias de su novela gótica Fanshawe (1828), cuya publicación había financiado él mismo. Durante este periodo escribió también artículos y cuentos breves en distintos periódicos. Algunos de los cuentos se recogieron en Historias dos veces contadas (1837), un libro que, a pesar de no proporcionarle unos excesivos ingresos económicos, le creó un nombre entre la crítica. Estas primeras obras son, en su mayoría, apuntes históricos y cuentos alegóricos, centrados en conflictos morales y en los efectos del puritanismo en las colonias de Nueva Inglaterra. Incapaz de vivir con los ingresos que le producían sus obras, en 1839 comenzó a trabajar como tasador en la Aduana de Boston. Dos años más tarde retomó la escritura y publicó una serie de apuntes sobre la historia de Nueva Inglaterra, destinada al público infantil, que llevaba como título La silla del abuelo: relatos para los jóvenes (1841). Ese mismo año se unió a la sociedad comunal de la Granja Brook, cerca de Boston, albergando la esperanza de conseguir una estabilidad económica que le permitiera casarse y dedicarse al mismo tiempo a la literatura. Pero el trabajo en la granja era excesivo, y no podía encontrar tiempo para escribir, por lo que a los seis meses abandonó la comunidad. En 1842 se casó con Sophia Amelia Peabody, de Salem, y la pareja se estableció en Concord (Massachussets) en una casa llamada Old Manse (la vieja rectoría). Durante los cuatro años que vivieron allí, el autor escribió numerosos cuentos que, más tarde, fueron publicados bajo el título de
