American author Nathaniel Hawthorne (July 4, 1804, to May 19, 1864) wrote both novels and short stories. His works typically touch on history, religion, and morality. His family had a lengthy history in Salem, Massachusetts, where he was born in 1804. Hawthorne enrolled at Bowdoin College in 1821, was chosen for membership in Phi Beta Kappa in 1824, and received his diploma in 1825. “Fanshawe” his debut novel, was published in 1828; he later tried to suppress it because he believed it fell short of the caliber of his later works. In magazines, he produced a number of short stories, which he later compiled as “Twice-Told Tales” in 1837. He proposed to Sophia Peabody the next year. Before getting married to Peabody in 1842, he joined the transcendentalist community of Brook Farm and worked at Boston Custom House. The pair first settled in Concord, Massachusetts' The Old Manse, before relocating to Salem, the Berkshires, and finally, The Wayside. Following the release of “The Scarlet Letter” in 1850, a number of other novels followed. Prior to their return to Concord, Hawthorne and his family travelled to Europe as part of a political appointment, as a consul. He passed away on May 19, 1864.
