Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864) was an American novelist and short-story writer. Born in Salem, Massachusetts, Hawthorne began his writing career in 1828 with the publication of his first novel, ‘Fanshawe’, followed by a collection of short stories. In 1850 he published perhaps his most famous work, ‘The Scarlet Letter’, which has since been adapted multiple times for stage and screen. Many of his novels explore lessons in morality, and centre around the themes of sin and evil. Some of his other best-known works include the novels ‘The House of the Seven Gables’ and ‘The Marble Faun’, and short stories ‘Wakefield’ and ‘Feathertop’. Hawthorne died in 1864 at the age of 59.
