Description:

Mercurial and Double-Edged as His Writing, Nathaniel Hawthorne stands before us as a strangely modern figure -- darkly handsome, obsessed with family secrets and guilt, self-conscious, charismatic, a man of endless complexity, and an artist of incomparable genius. His intimates included Melville, Emerson, Thoreau, Margaret Fuller, and Franklin Pierce -- yet even among his closest friends he remained elusive.
