<p><b>The first major Hawthorne biography to be published in two decades, featuring original scholarship on both unpublished and published sources</b></p> <p><i>The Life of the Author: Nathaniel Hawthorne </i>presents a rich and nuanced portrait of one of America’s greatest writers, exploring the thoughts and ideas of a man whose profound insights about the human condition continue to resonate in the modern day. Accessible to those with little knowledge of Hawthorne, this unique volume uses a new biographical approach based on exhaustive primary research that provides readers with a better understanding of the artist and his work.</p> <p>Author Dale Salwak challenges the presumption that Hawthorne was a reclusive, eccentric, and alienated man whose relevance to modern times is diminishing. Drawing from his forty-five years’ experience reading, studying, and teaching Hawthorne, the author reveals a more approachable Hawthorne. In-depth and reflective chapters explore topics such as the circumstances that led Hawthorne to become a writer, the influence of Sophia Hawthorne on her husband’s work, the theory of the unfulfilled homoerotic relationship between Hawthorne and Herman Melville, and more.</p> <ul> <li>Offers a fresh reading of Hawthorne’s life and work from birth to death</li> <li>Provides new perspectives on Hawthorne and stories surrounding his work</li> <li>Draws from a wide variety of sources, including novels, tales, children’s books, notebooks, and personal letters to and from Hawthorne</li> <li>Suggests new strategies for teaching Hawthorne to today’s students</li> <li>Includes a detailed index and comprehensive introductory and concluding chapters</li> </ul> <p>Highlighting Hawthorne’s special contributions to American literature, <i>The Life of the Author: Nathaniel Hawthorne</i> is essential reading for scholars, lecturers, and college students taking courses including Literary History, American Literature, and History of the Novel as well as anyone interested in biography, literature, and creativity.<br /><br /></p> <div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 161px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden;">“Dale Salwak has assimilated vast amounts of scholarship on Hawthorne and his circle, and he’s crafted a highly readable and brilliant biography.  The lines in Hawthorne’s astonishing life have never been more clearly drawn.
