Produktinformationen zu „The House of the Seven Gables (ePub)“
The House of the Seven Gables is a Gothic novel which follows the story of a New England family and their ancestral home. In this book, Hawthorne explores themes of guilt, retribution, and atonement and colors the tale with suggestions of the supernatural and witchcraft. The setting for the book was inspired by a gabled house in Salem belonging to Hawthorne's cousin Susanna Ingersoll and by ancestors of Hawthorne who had played a part in the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. American novelist and short story writer Nathaniel Hawthorne's (1804-1864) writing centers on New England, many works featuring moral allegories with a Puritan inspiration. His fiction works are considered to be part of the Dark romanticism. His themes often centre on the inherent evil and sin of humanity, and his works often have moral messages and deep psychological complexity.
Autoren-Porträt von Nathaniel Hawthorne
Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864) stands out in the American literary canon as a writer of deep psychological complexity and dark romanticism. Born in Salem, Massachusetts, Hawthorne was acutely aware of his family's Puritan legacy and its association with the Salem witch trials, a theme that would permeate much of his writing. With a keen interest in the moral conflicts that lie at the heart of human experience, Hawthorne's works often explore themes of sin, guilt, and redemption. 'The House of the Seven Gables' (1851), one of his most recognized works, delves into the themes of ancestral sin and the decay of an old New England family. This novel, like many of Hawthorne's, is characterised by its gothic elements and deep symbolism. It serves as a quintessential example of his style, marked by the use of allegory and his exceptional gift for narrative. Hawthorne's other notable works include 'The Scarlet Letter' (1850), where he examines the harsh Puritanical code and its impact on individuals, and 'Twice-Told Tales' (1837), a collection of his short stories. His literary style is notable for its heavy use of symbolism and exploration of the human condition, making him a central figure in the development of American literature. Academics and critics continue to study Hawthorne's rich contributions to the literary world, offering insights into the quintessential American experience during the 19th century.
