Este es el caso de Nathaniel Hawthorne (Salem, Massachusetts, 1804 - Plymouth, New Hampshire, 1864) cuya obra se inserta dentro del Renacimiento americano junto a autores como Melville, Thoreau o Poe a los que no solo conoció, sino que, también, inspiró.

Nathaniel Hawthorne was born on 4th July 1804 in Salem, Massachusetts, a town synonymous with the earlier Salem Witch Trials. It was instrumental in Hawthorne’s later use of American Gothic and dark romanticism in his writing.

A steady literary career still did not come his way and so he worked in a good position at Salem’s port and married the love of his life, Sophia Peabody. They moved to live in ‘The Old Manse’ at Concord, Massachusetts.
